Love In The First Degree
Written by Jim Hunt and Tim Dubois
Performed by Alabama

I once thought of love as a prison, a place I didn’t want to be.
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 love 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

I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
I’d take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it to the door.
Now, babe, I’m not begging for mercy; Go ahead and throw the book at me.
If lovin’ you’s a crime, I know I’m as guilty as a man can be.

Baby you love 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 love 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
Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree
Oh yeah
Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree
