The Magnetic Fields - It's a Crime Lyrics

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard, so hard

I shouldn't have bothered, cuz you're just like all the others
Now I know that I won't do that again
I should have guessed that you'd be just like all the rest
Now I know not to go through that again

I'm still crying all night and all day
But if I show it, someone lock me away, 'cause

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard, so hard

My mother said gently, "You can buy her a Bentley, but, my son, she'll only drive it away."
I didn't listen, 'cause my brain was missing
And I only found it today
I was a man, but now I'm only a child
And if it kills me, I am going to smile, 'cause

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard, so hard

You won't be hearing from me anymore,
'Cause I can't see through my tears anymore
If it takes years to be anymore than a jellyfish
I will not tell you this, because

It's a crime to fall in love
Heart and mind and soul in love
It's a crime to fall in love
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
