Is it a crime to love a woman,
To give her everything?
People change, she goes away,
And you`re left with nothing.
You`ve been together for so long,
That`s what`s makin` it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, and you move along.
In your arms I was singin`,
Now my ears are ringin`
To hear your heart beat for another man.
Can you be in love again
When you`ve been burned through and through?
Having to stop with an open heart
Leaves a lot to lose.
`Cause you`ve been together for so long,
That`s what`s makin` it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, move along.
