- Love In The First Degree Lyrics

Last night I was dreaming I was locked in a prison cell

When I woke up I was screaming calling out your name.
And the judge and the jury they all put the blame on me

They wouldn't go for my story
they wouldn't hear my plea.

Only you can set me free

'Cause I'm guilty - guilty - guilty as a girl can be.
Come on
baby
can't you see

I stand accused of love in the first degree.

Guilty of love in the first degree.

Someday I believe it you will come to my rescue

Unchain my heart you're keeping and let me start a new.
The hours pass so slowly since they've thrown away the key

Can't you see that I'm lonely
won't you help me
please?

Only you can set me free
. ..
Guilty of love in the first degree.
Cuilty - of love - guilty of love in -
Guilty - of love - guilty of love in -
Guilty - of love in the first degree.

And the judge and the jury they all put the blame on me

They wouldn't go for my story
they wouldn't hear my plea.

Only you can set me free
. . .
Only you can set me free
. . .
Only you can set me free
. ..
