Ain't No Crime

(album: Piano Man - 1973)

You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock coming 'out any warning
Gotta get ready to go
You say you went out late last evening
Did a lot of drinking
Come home stinking
And you went and fell asleep on the floor
And then your lady comes and finds you asleeping
Starts in to weeping 'bout the hours you been keeping
And you better get your ass out the door

Ain't no crime
Yeah, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
It ain't no crime
Well, everybody gets that way some time
It ain't no crime. Ooooh.

You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock coming without any warning
Gots'ta get ready to go
Well now you tell me you love somebody
And you'll love 'em forever
You may love 'em forever
But you won't like 'em all of the time
Well now you tell me you need somebody for the rest of your life
You might have somebody
But you won't want 'em ev'ryday

Ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature
Happens all the time
It ain't no crime
Well don't think twice about it
Get it off your mind
Ain't no crime. Ooooh.

Ain't no crime
Well, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
I say it ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature
Happens all the time
It ain't no crime. Ooooh.
You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock coming 'out any warning
You gotta get ready to go

And just as surely as the wind keeps blowing
The grass keeps growing
You gotta keep going
And the Lord have mercy on your soul.
Woooh.
