Drinking, gambling and women
Stealin hearts and playin with guns
But the laws the law and baby thats a fact
And now Im on the run

Chorus:
But this song aint about none of the above
Were not punished for our sins, but by them
Thought Id get myself a little passion play
But I can still hear them sayinthat crime dont pay

My poor heart is aching
It never did before
It seems my indiscretion served a painful lesson
And Im still begging for more

Chorus:
I tried to mix romance with deceit
A little pleasure now with my pain
And I felt the loss on judgement day
And I can still hear them sayinthat crime dont pay!

Pour yourself a drink now
Make it a double and chase it with tears
But take heed my friends to this warning I give
Before youre faced with all your fears

Chorus:
Id rather face ten men than have a broken heart
My crimes of passion have done me in
Im sentenced to life each and every lonely day
And I can still hear you sayinthat crime dont pay!
