Is It A Crime? Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

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 

Is it a crime to be reminded 

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 

As much time as we'd like them too 

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
