Love Should Be a Crime
Words like love and happinessNever seem to stand up babyWhen you put them to the test, yeahYou say that you're a poetThat your life's a work of artBut you can't play love by numbers baby
You gotta play it all by heartBaby, baby, baby, babyIt happens all the timeHow you play me, play me, play mePlaying with my mindBaby, baby, baby, babyYou're making me go crazyAnd if you call that loveThen love should be a crimeHonesty
Bites the dustEvery time I hear you sayingThat love is never lust yeahDid you read it in a book?Did you see it in a magazine ?
Do you think that I'm some new age fool?
Do you think I'm so naive?Baby, baby, baby, babyIt happens all the timeHow you play me, play me, play mePlaying with my mindBaby, baby, baby, babyYou're making me go crazyAnd if you call that loveThen love should be a crimeLove should be a crimeYou and meSuddenlyWe got nothing to sayBut the words get in the wayBaby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playing with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You're making me go crazy
And if you call that love
Then all it wasWas a pocketful of nothingBut a suicidal gunIf you call that loveThen love should be a crime
