To gamble on love just one time
Baby you left me defenseless
But you came and I was so tempted
And throw away the key
It seemed like the perfect crime
(Love in the first degree)
Now babe I'm not beggin' for mercy
(Love in the first degree)
Like a thousand times before
I'd take what I wanted and just walk away
(Love in the first degree)
So long ago, I made a decision
And throw away the key
Lock me away inside of your love
Oh yeah
If lovin' you's a crime
I've only got one plea
But I never made it to the door
Baby you left me defenseless
I'm guilty of love in the first degree
Oh yeah
(Love in the first degree)
I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
I thought it would be so simple
Lock me away inside of your love
Go ahead and throw the book at me
I've only got one plea
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm guilty of love in the first degree
And throw away the key
Lock me away inside of your love
To be footloose and fancy-free
I'm guilty of love in the first degree
I never thought, I would get caught
I've only got one plea
Baby you left me defenseless
(Love in the first degree)
