Love In The First Degree
by
Jo-El Gerber
Love in the first degree I know you really do love me
For you and I just might be
The only one for each other you see you fill my heart with glee
Maybe that’s why you could be the one for me.
You quite possibly might be the right girl for me
For that is why and how I got accused
Accused of something called love in the first degree
You have been becoming a very special part of me.
Maybe I was framed or was just the one blamed
But, I think that I was not framed
For I fell in love in the first degree with you
And now I know that I must be guilty.
So here I am in the chambers of love and happiness
Wondering to my self if I am in a big old mess
Now if I am I know what I must do
For you were accused of love in the first degree for me too.
Love in the first degree is definitely a lifetime sentence
For I will forever love you in the first degree
And I know that you will always love me too
Pleading for innocence is something I just cannot do.
