It's A Crime Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

It's a crime to fall in love 

Heart and mind, and soul in love 

It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard 

I shouldn't have bothered, 'cause you're just like all the others 

Now I know, and I won't do that again 

I should've guessed that you'd be just like all the rest 

Now I know not to go through that again 

I'm still crying all night and all day 

But if I show it, someone lock me away 

Because it's a crime to fall in love 

Heart and mind, and soul in love 

It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard 

My mother said gently, you can buy her a Bentley 

But my son, she'll only drive it away 

I didn't listen, 'cause my brain was missing 

And I only found it today 

I was a man but now I'm only a child 

And if it kills me I am going to smile 

'Cause it's a crime to fall in love 

Heart and mind, and soul in love 

It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard 

You won't be hearing from me anymore 

'Cause I can't see through my tears anymore 

If it takes years to be any more than a jellyfish 

I will not tell you this 

Because it's a crime to fall in love 

Heart and mind, and soul in love 

It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard 

So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
