Last night, I was dreaming
I was locked in a prison cell
When I woke up I was screaming
Calling out your name (whoa)

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me (the blame on me)
They wouldn't go for my story
They want to hear my plea

Only you can set me free
'Cause, I'm guilty (guilty)
Guilty as a girl can be
Come on, baby, can't you see
I stand accused
Of love in the first degree

Guilty of love in the first degree

Someday, I believe it
You will come to my rescue
Unchain my heart, you'll keep it
Let me start anew (oooh)

The hours passed so slowly
Since they've thrown away the key (away the key)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Won't you help me please

Only you can set me free
'Cause, I'm guilty (guilty)
Guilty as a girl can be
Come on, baby, can't you see
I stand accused
Of love in the first degree

Guilty of love in the first degree

(Guilty) of love
(Guilty) of love in
(Guilty) of love
(Guilty) of love in
(Guilty)of love in the first degree

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me
They wouldn't go for my story
They wanna hear my plea

Only you can set me free
'Cause, I'm guilty (guilty)
As a girl can be
Come on, baby, can't you see
I stand accused
Of love in the first degree

Repeat and fade
