[Intro]
Oh yeah
Chicago

[Chorus]
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life

[Verse 1]
Some might say I'm guilty of love in the first degree
If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key
There's no greater punishment than what I face inside
Won't tamper with the evidence 'cause there's nothing to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
What's inside my heart
I'm admitting to (I'm admitting to)
You wouldn't have a clue
Unless you felt it too
[Chorus]
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life

[Verse 2]
Better tell the truth, just let me plead my case
The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape
He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime
So how can I give up to you my partner in crime?

[Pre-Chorus]
What's inside my heart (My heart)
I'm admitting to (Oh yeah, yeah)
You wouldn't have a clue
Unless you felt it too

[Chorus]
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Bridge]
You can take away my freedom
But you can't take my love from me
I won't die a lonely prisoner
'Cause my heart will set me free, oh yeah
Woo, Chicago

[Chorus]
I said now if love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life (Sentence me, sentence me to life)
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me (Ah, come on)
Sentence me to life (I said)
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime, baby
I'd do my time whether (Oh yeah)
It's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Outro]
I said love is a crime
