Wish I was a stocking clanging to your thigh
Everytime you'd move around I'd view you walking by
Wish I was your underwear hanging around your waist
Everytime you'd shake that thing I'd get a little taste
Closer, closer, closer to you
Closer, got to get closer, closer to you
If I was a pair of boots I wouldn't have to beg
I'd be satisfied just being around your leg
When I am dreaming it takes so many trips
I'd pretend that I'm a stick to decorate your lips
Closer, closer, closer to you
Closer, got to get closer, closer to you
If I am a necklace hanging down
Louisiana Saturday Night
I once thought of love as a prison
a place I didn't want to be
So long ago, I made a decision
to be footloose and fancy-free
But you came and I was so tempted
to gamble on love just one time
I never thought, that I would get caught
It seemed like the perfect crime
(Chorus)
Baby you left me defense-less
I've only got one plea
Lock me away, inside of your love
and throw away the key
I'm guilty...of love in the first degree
I thought it would be so simple
like a thousand times before
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away
but I never made it to the door
Now babe I'm not beggin' for mercy
go ahead and throw the book at me
If lovin' you's a crime
I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
(Chorus)
Love in the first degree (oh-oh yeah)
Love in the first degree
Oh Yeeeaaaah!
(Chorus)
