Love Crimes lyrics

Hollywood looks good at night
The TVs get fine reception
But last night Jean told Steve
About her imminent conception

She wants a plum tree for the house, for their child
Stevie raised his head and said, `That`s wild!`

Stevie tried and tried
Jean would not comply
She said, `Your partying needs, you see,
Ain`t nothing to this seed in me
You make love a crime

Billy don`t live in his spirit
Billy don`t live in his heart
Billy walks around Times Square at night
His body is his art

Life is easy when you`re pretty and 16
Just make sure that your underwear is clean

Billy don`t ask why
He just stares at the sky
He says, `Love always leaves you bent,
This way I pay the rent.`
He makes love a crime

I still believe in romance
I just think there`s something missing
`Cause last night just by chance,
I saw you and Ivan kissing

Jealousy rose up right
>From its hole
Just when I had it all under control

Say goodbye, goodbye
`Cause you`re both gonna die
Don`t ask me why
It`s all in your eyes,
You made love a crime

Don`t ask me why
It reflects in your eyes
You made love a crime
