Lyrics

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

And the   and the jury
They all   the blame on me
(The blame on me)
They wouldn't go for my  
They wouldn't hear my  

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  
Of love in the first degree

(Guilty) Of love in the first degree

Someday I'm believing
You will come to my  
Unchain my   , you'll keep him
Let me   a new

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

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 wouldn't 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

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
