Love Turned To Crime

(album: Modern Madness - 1988)

Well, he loved her with a vengeance
Until she came to understand
Valentines were black and blue
Written on the back of his hand

When love turned to crime
When love turned to crime

He had her in his hands that night
Down upon her knees
A cold hand working down her leg
And he yelled out please
So he wrapped that pain around her
Like a perfumed mystery
Watching and waiting
For every opportunity

When love turned to crime
Suddenly it's a real emotion
Time after time
Hard fact, girl
Love turned to crime

[Spoken background]

That glass ain't mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah

When love turned to crime
Suddenly it's a real emotion
Time after time
Hard fact, babe
Love turned to crime

When love turned to crime
Suddenly it's a real emotion
Time after time
Hard fact, girl
When love turned to crime
