Crime of Passion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turn up the heat, don't be discreet
Just let your feelings flow
I can't get enough, you fill my cup
I'll drink until I crawl
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't put out my fire
You've got what I desire
Just give it up to me
What I want is what I see
[Chorus]
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty of dragging me in
You're just a crime of passion
I'm guilty, a fool for your sin
[Verse 2]
You are the one, you load my gun
I'm gonna shoot on sight
I don't make a sound, I'm going down
I'll stay until you come
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't put out my fire
You've got what I desire
Just give it up to me
What I want is what I see
[Chorus]
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty, I'm turning you in
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty, I'm livin' in sin
You're guilty of sin
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You fill my cup, can't get enough
Just let the feelings flow
You are the one, you load my gun
You make me shoot on sight
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't put out my fire
You've got what I desire
Just give it up to me
What I want is what I see
[Chorus]
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty of dragging me in
You're just a crime of passion
I'm guilty, a fool for your sin
I'm just a crime of passion
You're guilty, I'm turning you in
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty, I'm livin' in sin
I'm a fool for your sin
Turn up the heat, don't be discreet
Just let your feelings flow
I can't get enough, you fill my cup
I'll drink until I crawl
I can't put out my fire
You've got what I desire
Just give it up to me
What I want is what I see
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty of dragging me in
You're just a crime of passion
I'm guilty, a fool for your sin
You are the one, you load my gun
I'm gonna shoot on sight

I can't put out my fire
You've got what I desire
Just give it up to me
What I want is what I see

You're guilty, I'm turning you in
You're just a crime of passion
You're guilty, I'm livin' in sin
You're guilty of sin
