it s a crime

The Magnetic Fields

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard
So hard

I shouldn't have bothered, 'cause you're just like all the others
Now I know, and I won't do that again
I should've guessed that you'd be just like all the rest
Now I know not to go through that again
I'm still crying all night and all day
But if I show it, someone lock me away
'Cause...

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard
So hard

My mother said gently, "You can buy her a Bentley
But my son, she'll only drive it away"
I didn't listen, 'cause my brain was missing, and I
Only found it today
I was a man, but now I'm only a child
And if it kills me, I am going to smile
'Cause...

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard
So hard

You won't be hearing from me anymore
'Cause I can't see through my tears anymore
If it takes years to be any more
Than a jellyfish
I will not tell you this
Because...

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
So hard
