High Crime - Al Jarreau

When you said that it was time

To change your point of view

Never entered in my mind

That what you meant was

We were through

Jumpin' to conclusions

Is really not my style

And if it’s just illusion

It’ll vanish in a while

Perhaps the pain and stingin'

Is only in my mind

I can change my thinkin'

But my heart is cryin' ouch

High Crime

(What you doin' to me)

That you don’t love me

(That you don’t love me)

High, high crime

(In the first degree)

That you refuse my company

High, high crime

(What you doin' to me)

That you don’t love me

(That you don’t love me)

High, high crime

(In the first degree)

That you refuse to stick with me

(You refuse to stay)

Don’t you get the message

So this crazy night is through

And here’s the mornin' sun

Even though I still love you

It’s time to go and have some fun

So get yourself a lawyer

And I’ll meet you down in court

Pray the judge is for ya

'Cause I’m claiming non-support

Here’s my deposition

You left me high and dry

You left me with a photograph

You didn’t even sign

High crime…

…That you refuse my company

(You refuse to stay)

Stick with me

High crime

(Better get a lawyer)

That you don’t love me

(That you don’t love me)

High, high crime

(Better get a lawyer quick)

That you refuse to stick with me

High, high crime…
