Guilty Lyrics

As a lover you run for cover

Whenever trouble appears

Kiss and hug again

Kiss and hug and then

It's always ending in tears

You've been floating around like a butterfly

But I'm gonna pin you down

'Cause you've been...

(CHORUS)

Found* and convicted of a serious crime

Caught in possession of this heart of mine

I'm lockin' you away for a long, long time

'Cause your guilty (guilty)

You're guilty of love

I'm the judge and the jury

And defendant too

And I'm just about to throw the book at you

'Cause your guilty (guilty)

You're guilty of love

I said G-U-I-L-T-Y; G-U-I-L-T-Y

Now I'm on the case**

Keeping you in place

Seems so easy easy to do

Don't step out of line

Or you're gonna find

That I'll come gunnin' for you

Just like an agent from the F-B-I

I'm gonna get my man

'Cause you've been...

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

*Sheet music lyric says "Tried and convicted..." though First Choice and

Other covers have used "Found and convicted..." instead

**Joyce Jones sang "on the race" instead of "on the case" in the First

Choice version
