crime of passion

bonnie raitt

my body is the only place

where we meet anymore

thought that i could handle the heartache

like i did before

i remember your warning

to never mention love

a little crime of passion

is what i'm guilty of

there were no witnesses

just the candlelight

glowin' as your softness awakened

every warm delight

show me some mercy

what a fool i have become

a little crime of passion

that's what i'm sufferin' from

kisses ago it was so easy

dreams we shared together faded to forever

and i just don't wear despair very well

i can tell

now is such a painful time

and i'm too far gone

where are all the clever defenses

i depended on?

how could i be so crazy

to believe the things you say?

a little crime of passion

is takin' my breath away

show me some mercy

what a fool i have become

a little crime of passion

that's what i'm sufferin' from

baby

oh

just a little crime of passion

is what i'm sufferin' from

is what i'm sufferin' from

what i'm sufferin' from

ahhh

just a little crime of passion

is what i'm sufferin' from
