Drinking, gambling and women
Stealin’ hearts and playin’ with guns
But the laws the law and baby that’s a fact
And now i’m on the run

Chorus:
But this song ain’t about none of the above
We’re not punished for our sins, but "by them"
Thought i’d get myself a little passion play
But i can still hear them sayin’that crime don’t pay

My poor heart is aching
It never did before
It seems my "indiscretion" served a "painful lesson"
And i’m still begging for more

Chorus:
I tried to mix romance with deceit
A little pleasure now with my pain
And i felt the loss on judgement day
And i can still hear them sayin’that crime don’t pay!

Pour yourself a drink now
Make it a double and chase it with tears
But take heed my friends to this warning i give
Before you’re faced with all your fears

Chorus:
I’d rather face ten men than have a broken heart
My crimes of passion have done me in
I’m sentenced to life each and every lonely day
And i can still hear you sayin’that crime don’t pay!

I got drunk with a real nice guy last night
In a mood to talk or fight
And he said, what’s the matter
You don’t look like you do so bad
I said i just been taking for everything i had
Someone took a fancy to my wallet
And my coat
So what you smiling at – ain’t you been in that boat
It’s something that there really should be
Something done about
He said don’t knock it sonny
That’s the way i started out
And now i got a nice suit
I got a nice car
It’s been a nice day
Don’t tell me that crime don’t pay
Okay
