Lyrics

It's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love,
So hard, so hard.
I shouldn't have bothered, cause
You're just like all the others.
Now I know, and I won't do that again.
I should've guessed that you'd be
Just like all the rest.
Now I know not to go through that again.
I'm still crying all night and all day,
But if I show it, someone lock me away,
Because it's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard.
My mother said gently,
You can buy her a Bentley,
But my son, she'll only drive it away.
I didn't listen, cause my brain was missing,
And I only found it today.
I was a man but now I'm only a child.
And if it kills me I am going to smile,
Cause it's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard.
You won't be hearing from me anymore,
Cause I can't see through my tears anymore.
If it takes years to be any more than a jellyfish,
I will not tell you this,
Because it's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love,
So hard, so hard.
So hard, so hard.
