Crime of Passion

Hold me down, keep me back, I don't know what Ill do
 My baby's with that man again, I thought that they was through
 Now she's found a boocoo love, and here my heart lies ashen
 O lord where were you in my crime of passion
 She warn me once, she warn me twice, the third time was the harm
 I'm pounding at her door again, but no cause for alarm
 She don't think that we're a match, but I think we be matchin'
 O lord where were you in my crime of passion
 Every day I'm waiting for my baby just to call
 Ain't too proud to beg, and surely not to proud to crawl
 I guess I'm just unworthy
 Well, I was in the neighborhood, I thought that I'd stop by
 I walked into her bedroom door, and much to my surprise
 There they lay, as lovers do, and then I got to smashing
 O lord where were you in my crime of passion
 Locked up in the cooler I'm the new kid in the hall
 But seeing her be happy wasn't happiness at all
 And someone yelled, "Orenthal"
 The warden said, "Shut your trap and make love to that fool."
 I'm serving here one million years, until the earth is through
 Now I sit a lonely man waiting on his ration
 O lord where were you in my crime of passion
