She was black, I was white, She was black, I was white, She was black, I was white, And I took her home, Turned down the light
Commit no crime, When you lay your body down next to mine, Commit no crime, When you lay your body down, lover, Commit no crime, Commit no crime, Commit no crime, Unless you can do the time In the jailhouse of my jealous heart For fourteen-hundred years Amidst the raging fire Of my anger and my tears, Cause once you lay your body down, You’ll forever be my lover, tonight!
Well I stood before Your Honor And I, I testified That the accusations against me Were tantamount to lies, I feel that I should warn you – In the state of California We got electric chairs, And maybe you might just fry, I’m gonna get myself a lawyer, A lawyer to destroy ya, I’m gonna hang you out to dry On this night, On this sexy night, Cause you have laid your body down Illegally, And lover, that’s a crime!
Your Honor, at this time The prosecution rests Confidence in the evidence Of the DNA tests, And if the glove does not fit, You must acquit, Baby, that’s a crock of shit, There’s all the elicit affairs To which I never will admit, It was the money, and the drugs, and the photographs, The bodily fluid, and the polygraphs, And let us not forget The mysterious house guest
Cause, darling, if loving you is a crime, Then I’m guilty as charged tonight...
