Is it a crime to love a woman,
To give her everything?
People change, she goes away,
And youâre left with nothing.
Youâve been together for so long,
Thatâs whatâs makinâ it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, and you move along.
In your arms I was singinâ,
Now my ears are ringinâ
To hear your heart beat for another man.
Can you be in love again
When youâve been burned through and through?
Having to stop with an open heart
Leaves a lot to lose.
âcause youâve been together for so long,
Thatâs whatâs makinâ it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, move along.
In your arms I was singinâ,
Now my ears are ringinâ
To hear your heart beat for another man.
