Love In The First Degree

Words and music by jim hurt and tim dubois



I once thopught of love as a prison a place i didn't want to be.

So long ago i made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.

But you cam i was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.

I never thought i would get caught.

It seemed liek the perfect crime.



Chorus:

Baby, you left me defneseless.

I've only got one plea.

Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.

I'm guilty of love in the first degree.



I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.

I'd take what i wanted and just walk away, but i never made it to the door.

Now babe, i'm not beggin' for mercy.

Go ahead and throw the book at me.

If lovin' you's a crime, i know that i'm as guilty as a man can be.



Chorus



Oh yeah.  oh yeah.



Chorus



Oh yeah.  love in the first degree.

Love in the first degree.

Love in the first degree.
