Kid Creole and The Coconuts
I Stand Accused
[Verse 1]
Some people say
That I’ve become a fool
With ways and means
Of a man unschooled
If there ever [?]
The way I’m running after you
Then I stand
Accused
[Verse 2]
Hip hip hooray
For sentimental clowns
Who twist and shout
And are yet unbowed
Well if it’s not allowed
To want you back again somehow
Then I stand
Accused
[Chorus]
If I choose to live my life
Loving you
It’s my right to
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, if I choose to live my life
Loving you
It’s my right to
[Verse 3]
All the winds will turn the tide
Caress the heart
Of a man gone wild
And if it’s sin or crime
To go without you
I should die
Then I stand
Accused
