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
‘Cos once you lay your body down
You’ll forever be my lover, tonight!

Well I stood before your honour
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
‘cos you have laid your body down
Illegally
And lover, that’s a crime!

Your honour 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…
