Karaoké Crime of Passion Ricky Van Shelton

She had a ragtop El Dorado

Tuck and roll pleat

She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the driver's seat

I said I got no money

You know I got no job

She said I tell you what honey

Let's find a place to rob

Now the man at the station's name was Jim

I saw it sewed on his shirt

I told him Do what I say

You'll live another day

Nobody's 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 countin' 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 pointin' at me

You see Jim at the station played his part

He talked a little perjury

He went to great pains to leave out her name

He was her future ex-husband

Can't you see

It was a crime of passion

She took him by the heart when she took him by the hand

Crime of passion

A beautiful woman and a desperate man

Now the cop at the station's name was Joe

I saw it on his badge on his shirt

He said You'll never get away

Just do what we say

Nobody's 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

It's just a crime of passion
