Is it a sin is it a crime
Loving you dear like I do
If it’s a crime then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you
Maybe I’m wrong dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night through
If it’s a crime then I’m guilty
Guilty of dreaming of youWhat can I do?
What can I say?
After I’ve taken the blame
You say you’re through
You’ll go your way
But I’ll always feel just the same
Maybe I’m right maybe I’m wrong
Loving you dear like I do
If it’s a crime then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you(small bridge)
What can I do?
What can I say?
After I’ve taken the blame
You say you’re through
You’ll go your way
But I’ll always feel just the same
Maybe I’m right maybe I’m wrong
Loving you dear like I do
If it’s a crime then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you
