Lyrics Gilbert O’Sullivan – Is It A Crime?
Text:
Is it a crime to say I love you
A crime to say I care
Is it a crime to want you madly
With me everywhere
That someone close to you is true
if it’s a crime of course I’m guilty
But you are guilty too
Is it unwise to ask a question
Unwise to ask how come
Is it unwise to say I’m sorry
For something I might have done
Is it unwise you’ll have to tell me
Because as far as I can see
If it’s unwise all I can say is
God help you and me
Patience is a timely virtue
Helps us overcome delay
Waiting up all hours won’t hurt you
But it will, done with skill
Kill you anyway
Is it a crime to say how are you
A crime to say how well
Is it a crime to beg forgiveness
After putting you through hell
Is it a crime you wouldn’t think so
But from the looks that I’ve received
Not only should I not have said it
But I shouldn’t even speak
Memories alone won’t take up
Strangely enough, the more we break-up
The less I find peace of mind
Living without you
Is it a crime to say I love you
A crime to say I care
Is it a crime to want you madly (gladly)
Without you even there
Is it a crime to be remembered
By someone close to you
If it’s a crime all I can say is
What is the world coming to
