Guilty Of The Crime Lyrics

You're the only one who's ever heard my song
I might be lonely now, but I won't be lonely long
Take a look at me, baby
Tell me, what do you see?
Take a look at me, baby
You're lookin' at the brand new me

I'm like a total stranger knockin' at your door
No need to worry 'bout the way I was before
It's a new love story
So read every line
You be the judge and the jury
I'm guilty of the crime

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime
Of lovin' you, baby
Guilty of, guilty of the crime

I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
'Cause there's nothin' more that I would rather do
It's a new love story
Got to read every line
You be the judge and the jury
I'm guilty of the crime

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime
Of lovin' you, baby
Guilty of, guilty of the crime
Of lovin' you, baby
Guilty of, guilty of the crime
Yes, I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime
Of lovin' you, lovin' you

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime
Yes I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

One of my favourite songs by Joe Walsh, what's funny about it is that his voice in it sort of has an Ozzy sound to it, but still an awesome song, I think that this song means someone who loves someone and they changed for them in someway, In Joe's case he became sober and quit drinking, which in the song is represented in the following line's: "Take a look at me, baby You're lookin' at the brand new me" Awesome song, Enjoy folks.

I believe this song is about someone who is willing to completely change who they are for the purpose of making someone love them.
