Crime Dont Pay lyrics

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!
