She had a ragtop El Dorado tuck and roll pleat
|
She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the driver's seat
|
I said I got no money you know I got no job
|
She said I tell you what honey let's find a place to rob
|
Now the man at the station's name was Jim I saw it sewed on his shirt
|
I told him do what I say you'll live another day nobody's gotta get hurt
|
It was the crime of passion she took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
|
Crime of passion a beautiful woman and a desperate man
|
|
Well I thought the thing was over she was countin' the cash
|
When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash
|
She said officer won't you help me please I looked at her and she was pointin' at me
|
You see Jim at the station played the part and I talked a little perjury
|
He went to great pains to leave out her name
|
He was her future exhusband can't you see
|
It was the crime of passion...
|
|
Now the man at the station's name was Joe I saw it on the badge on his shirt
|
He said you'll never get away but do what we say nobody has to get hurt
|
It was the crime of passion...
|
Crime of passion...
|
It was the crime of passion It's just a crime of passion
|
