I never thought that
I could feel this way
You came around and
Brought about a change in me

I was a typical guy
You came along and blew my mind
You were runnin' fast, I was runnin' slow
Everybody said that it would not work

Love came and set me free
You were standing there to rescue me
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love, well

Why? It's no crime
If I'm guilty of love let me do my time
Why? It's no crime
Everybody needs love and baby

You never thought love
Came so easily
No doubt about it
Never in your dreams, no way

You were a typical girl
You came along and changed my world
I walk slow, you walk fast
Everybody said that it could not last

Love came inside of me
Never knew how good our love could be
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love

Why? It's no crime
If I'm guilty of love let me do my time, well
Why? It's no crime
Everybody needs love and baby

I've spent half a lifetime waiting for someone
You say I know it was you
They don't recommend it, I don't understand it
I've been reprimanded 'cause I'm in love with you

You were a typical girl
You came along and changed my world
I walk slow, you walk fast
And everybody said that it could not last

Love came inside of me
Never knew how good our love could be
Love caught it, we thought
Why can't we be in love, oh
Why? Why?

So do I, so do I
So do I, so do I

Why? It's no crime
If I'm guilty of love let me do my time
Why? It's no crime
Everybody needs love and baby
Why?
