I dreamed that love was a crime
I was alone, so lonely and blue
You know why?
Because eight men and four women, Lord
They found me guilty of loving you
As they were taking me away
I saw you, oh, I saw you as you were taking the witness stand
And I heard the lawyer when he asked you, my love
He said, "Do you, oh, do you really love that man?"
It was eight men and four women
How could they, oh, how could they be so blind?
I wonder how could they, oh Lord, I know they just sat there
And I heard them call true love a crime
Here's what really got to me, baby
Burning tears rolled down my cheek
You see, I felt, I felt so sorry for you
You know why?
Because in my heart I knew
Oh Lord, yeah, baby, I knew
That they would've find you guilty too
Wait a minute, judge, your honor
And I'd like to say this to the jury
If you'll give me a chance
I'll prove to y'all right now
That true love, oh no, it just can't be a crime
You see, I know that everybody needs somebody sometimes
And when I needed my baby, she was always there
And I know you should be able to understand
That every, I said every, oh, every once in a while
I don't care who you are, you might find yourself
In a state of despair
But I need my baby and my love needs me
If y'all could see how happy we are together
There's no way, oh, there just ain't no way
You could call true love a crime
But I tell y'all, they just sat there, they ignored me
They found us guilty
A mean judge and a very cruel jury
But oh, oh Lord, that's the jury of love
That's the jury of love
Jury of love
That's the jury of love
