She had a rag top Eldorado tuck-in-row pleat
She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the drivers seat
I said I got no money, you know I got no job
She said, I tell you what honey, lets find a place to rob
Now the man at the stations name was Jim
I saw it sewed on his shirt
I told him do what I say youll live another day
Nobodys gotta get hurt
It was a crime of passion
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
Crime of passion
A beautiful woman and a desperate man
Well I thought the thing was over she was counting the cash
When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash
She said, Officer, would you help me please?
I looked at her and she was pointing at me
You see Jim at the station played his part
He talked a little perjury
He went to great pains to leave out a name
He was a future ex-husband, cant you see?
It was a crime of passion
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
Crime of passion
A beautiful woman and a desperate man
Now the cop at the stations name was Joe
Saw it on his badge on his shirt
He said youll never get away just do what we say
Nobodys gotta get hurt
It was a crime of passion
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
Crime of passion
A beautiful woman and a desperate man
Crime of passion
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
Crime of passion
A beautiful woman and a desperate man
It was a crime of passion
Its just a crime of passion
