Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

It's a Crime

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, cuz you're just like all the others

Now I know that I won't do that again

I should have 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, '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

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 anymore 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

So hard, so hard

So hard, so hard
