Lyrics Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello

I Stand Accused

Girl, I stand accused, people say I love you

Yeah, I stand accused, oh, but what can I do

You belong to some other guy

Hope I never have to testify

If loving you is a big crime

I've been guilty a long time

Girl, I stand accused with no more than a chance

Girl, I stand accused and I got no defense

All I need is a touch from your hand

To find myself on a witness stand

I'd be unable to lie, girl

I got a love that won't die, girl

Tell the world that I was guilty

I wouldn't stand a chance

Tell the world that I was a victim

A victim of circumstance

They might show some mercy if I could explain

Girl, I love you so much that I'm almost insane

You disturbed my balance of mind

I couldn't help what I did at the time

I stand accused and I'm guilty

Maybe I always will be

I need a witness, baby

You disturbed my balance of mind

I couldn't help what I did at the time

I stand accused and I'm guilty

Maybe I always will

I need a witness, baby

I stand accused of loving you

So guilty baby

Oh yeah

I stand accused

I S-T-A-N-D A-C-C-U-S-E-D

I stand accused, loving you

So guilty, baby

Oh yeah
