Drinking, gambling and women Stealin` hearts and playin` with guns But the laws the law and baby that`s a fact And now I`m on the run
Chorus: But this song ain`t about none of the above We`re not punished for our sins, but "by them" Thought I`d get myself a little passion play But I can still hear them sayin`That crime don`t pay
My poor heart is aching It never did before It seems my "indiscretion" served a "painful lesson" And I`m 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 sayin`That crime don`t 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 you`re faced with all your fears
Chorus: I`d rather face ten men than have a broken heart My crimes of passion have done me in I`m sentenced to life each and every lonely day And I can still hear you sayin`That crime don`t pay!
