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...
