Crime Of Passion

She had a rag top Eldorado tuck-in-row pleat

She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the drivers seat

I said I got no money, you know I got no job

She said, "I tell you what honey, let's find a place to rob"

Now the man at the station's name was Jim

I saw it sewed on his shirt

I told him do what I say you'll live another day

Nobody's gotta get hurt

It was a crime of passion

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand

Crime of passion

A beautiful woman and a desperate man

Well I thought the thing was over she was counting the cash

When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash

She said, "Officer, would you help me please?"

I looked at her and she was pointing at me

You see Jim at the station played his part

He talked a little perjury

He went to great pains to leave out a name

He was a future ex-husband, can't you see?

It was a crime of passion

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand

Crime of passion

A beautiful woman and a desperate man

Now the cop at the station's name was Joe

Saw it on his badge on his shirt

He said you'll never get away just do what we say

Nobody's gotta get hurt

It was a crime of passion

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand

Crime of passion

A beautiful woman and a desperate man

Crime of passion

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand

Crime of passion

A beautiful woman and a desperate man

It was a crime of passion

It's just a crime of passion
