Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Crime of Passion

My body is the only place

Where we meet anymore

Thought that I could handle the heartache

Like I did before

I remember your warning

To never mention love

A little crime of passion

Is what I'm guilty of

There were no witnesses

Just the candlelight

Glowin' as your sweetness awakened

Every warm delight

Show me some mercy

What a fool I have become

A little crime of passion

That's what I'm sufferin' from

Kisses ago it was so easy

Dreams we shared together faded to forever

And I just don't wear despair very well

I can tell

Now it's such a painful time

And I'm too far gone

Where are all the clever defenses

I depended on?

How could I be so crazy

To believe all the things you say?

A little crime of passion

Is takin' my breath away

Show me some mercy

What a fool I've become

A little crime of passion

That's what I'm sufferin' from

Baby, oh, just a little crime of passion

What I'm sufferin' from

What I'm sufferin' from

What I'm sufferin' from

Oh, just a little crime of passion

Is what I'm sufferin' from
