Eight Men And Four Women (Single Version)

Eight men and four women

It's just 12

In all

The jury of love

I dreamed that love was a crime

Lord, have mercy

I was alone, so lonely and blue

You know why?

'Cause eight men and four women

Lord, they found me guilty of loving you, mm

As they were taking me away

You were taking

I saw you when you were taking the witness stand

I heard the lawyer when he asked you

My Lord, oh do you

Oh, do you really love that man?

It was eight men and four women, yeah

How could they be so blind?

How could they?

I know they said that, and call true love a crime

I never will forget that

Burning tears of love began to roll down my cheeks

And I felt, Lord, I felt sorry for you

You know why?

Because in my heart

I knew, oh yes, baby, I knew

That they would find

Oh, they would find you guilty too

Judge, your honour and to the jury

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of doubt

That we all are innocent and real true love

Real true love is not a crime

Lord, I

Lord, that's the jury of love

A mean judge, a mean jury

Oh, that's the jury of love

Oh, that's just the way it goes, baby

They found me guilty of loving you, yeah

Thank you so very much

Lord, that's the jury of love

Thank you, yeah
