The Love Goes First - Maxi Degrassi

I once thought of love as a prison A place I didn't want to be But so long ago I made a decision To be footloose and fancy free But you came and I was so tempted To gamble on love just one time I never thought I would get caught It seemed like the perfect crime Baby, you left me defenseless But I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree I thought it would be so simple Like the thousand times before I take what I wanted and just walk away But I never made it to the door Oh now, babe, I'm not begging for mercy Go ahead and throw the book at me If loving you's a crime I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be Baby, you left me defenseless I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree (Love in the first degree) oh yeah, oh yeah Baby, you left me defenseless But I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree Love in the first degree, oh yea Love in the first degree Love in the first degree, oh yea Love in the first degree Love in the first degree
