I fell deep in Love the day I met her In
Blindness I felt she could do no wrong I
Wanted to be with that girl forever But That
Was long before I wrote this song
We started spending every night together
My world was getting brighter every day
I wanted to be with that girl foreverI never
Dreamed that I would ever say
She did the Crime and I did the Time There's no
Such thing as justice anymore She stole my
Heart and tore my world apart She threw away my
Happiness and locked the door I testified in my
Heart's defense, but her cheatin' litigation made
A plea She lied and got aquitted and destroyed the
Evidence,that's how She did the Crime and I did the
Time(instrumental break)
It started with a phone call from her mother
A family friend was comin' into Town The friend turned out to be
Her other lover Now there in Love and my world's
Upside down I cought her makin Love to him one
Mornin' It must have been before the break of
Dawn My sorrow turned to rage and then I shot her
Now the only one I ever loved is gone
She did the Crime and I did the Time There's no
Such thing as justice anymore She stole my
Heart and tore my world apart She threw away my
Happiness and locked the door I testified in my
Heart's defense, but her cheatin' litigation made
A plea She lied and got aquitted and destroyed the
Evidence,that's how She did the Crime and I did the
Time Yeah She did the crime and I did the time
