Curtis Mayfield
I Stand Accused
[Verse 1]
Girl, I
I stand accused
Of loving you just a little too much
And I hope, oh Lord
Sure enough hope it's not a crime
Oh, guilty of loving you
Oh, baby
[Verse 2]
Oh, I
I hope that I
That I never, never, never have to testify
But if I do, if I do, everyone's gonna cry, baby
That boy is guilty, oh Lord
Of loving you
[Bridge]
Although, you belong to another
Another boy, baby
And I may not stand the ghost of a chance
But I'll tell the world
Y'all, I love her, I need her, baby
And I'm a victim of circumstance
And been proven guilty
Oh, yes, I am, yes I am
[Verse 3]
Did you know?
One touch
Lord, lord, lord, of your hand, baby
And I find myself
Right back, right back on the witness stand, darling
Shouting out, shouting out, shouting out
All over the land
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
[Outro]
Oh, Lord, lord, lord
Baby
Oh, please, mama
Please, please
