Well hello baby
Come sit downmake your self comfortable
Tell me somthinghow long have we known each other?
About ten months huh?
Say what s that on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and John are getting engagedhuh?
You know he s a mighty lucky guy
Should be proud to have a woman like you
ListenI ve got something to tell you
Don t think I m getting fresh or anything like that
But this things been bugging me for a long time you know
And its getting heavier each and every day
And I ve just gotta get it off my chest
See I ve never seen anyone like you
I ve never known anyone like you
Let me take me back to my childhood a while
See we had a medium size family you knowwe weren t rich
But my mother tried to bring us the best she could
Didn t commit no crime nor nothing
But I had to reach manhood to commit this crime
According to the code of loveif there is such a code
See love is a thing wellyou know?
It s a bit like quicksand
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
And when it hits you you ve just got to fall
That s why I do believe that I am guilty
Guilty of loving you
