CRIMES OF PASSION

I thought I destroyed the tapes
Thought you could crack a safe
I’m sick of tripping the alarm
You think I drink too much
I don’t think you drink enough
Yr always stopping where I start

Caught in crimes of passion 
Here I stand
I wait for yr command
& throw up both my hands 
& meet all yr demands
& if you just let go
I cannot lift it on my own

Back in my acting days
I went through a social phase
(That’s not a threat,
That’s a disguise)
You don’t have any friends
I slept with most of them
I’ve got statistics on my side

Caught in crimes of passion 
Here I stand
I wait for yr command
& throw up both my hands 
& meet all yr demands
& if you just let go
I cannot lift it on my own

You knew what I was
Yr not what I want
I’m pleading not guilty ‘til the charges are dropped
I won’t sell us out
They won’t hear a sound
Except the beating of my heart

Caught in crimes of passion 
Here I stand
I wait for yr command
& throw up both my hands 
& meet all yr demands
& if you just let go
I cannot lift it on my own
