If Loving You Is a Crime (I'll Always Be Guilty) lyrics

If loving you is a crime Then give me time Cause I always be guilty Sometimes, I feel that I’m on trial For loving you too much, child You’re the judge and the jury Of my peers If it’s time for me to talk Lord, listen here If you don’t want me To steal your heart Lock me up And keep us both apart And if they let me go I know it I will do the same thing Over again So if loving you’s a crime Then give me time Cause I’ll always be guilty Lord, have mercy I stand before you A condemned man Because I had A deliberate plan To steal your heart Oh, your love away But I got caught What can I say? I’m guilty, so guilty Woo, lord, guilty But I know now If they let me go I know it I will do the same thing Over again So, if loving you is a crime Then give me time Cause I always be guilty So guilty, so guilty So guilty I’m sitting in a witness stand I got to plead guilty If it’s a crime in this world For loving a woman Somebody let me know I’ll serve the rest of my life Pleading love, love
