Words of warning took me by surprisenFrom a voice I hardly recognizednWell my heart was beating fasternAnd my blood ran hot and coldnI was heading for disasternWhen suddenly I realized that I had lost controlnnLoaded questions played upon my mindnAllegations I could not denynWell my mind was in confusionnHad my back against the wallnI'd been led into collusionnBefore I realized I was a victim of it allnn[Chorus]nHere's to my crime of passionnI can't forget the look upon your facenAnd to your tender merciesnGoodbye to all the innocence we never can replacennAll of Sunday sittin' by the telephonenNot a whisper, well I should have knownnBut it seems that I'd insistedn'Cause in spite of all you saidnI believe my words were twistednAs line by line the promises were spinning round my headnnWaves of anger slowly do recedenTo faded memories that I'll never neednBut my mind keeps on returning to the way it used to benThere's a flame forever burningnThere's nothing I can say to you will ever make you seennHere's to my crime of passionnI just can't seem to shake it off my mindnAs for your tender mercynI'll never stop regretting that I left it all behind
