Guilty Lyrics by Ruth Etting

Love Me or Leave Me

0

Is it a sin? Is it a crime
Loving you, dear, like I do?
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you

Maybe I’m wrong, dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night through
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of dreaming of you

What can I do? What can I say
After I’ve taken the blame?
You say you’re through, you’ll go your way
But I’ll always feel just the same

Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong
Loving you, dear, like I do
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you

Though you've decided that our love is wrong
And think that we should part
It seems as though I have loved you so long
You'll always be in my heart

Is it a sin? Is it a crime
Loving you, dear, like I do?
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you

Maybe I’m wrong, dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night through
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of dreaming of you

What can I do? What can I say
After I’ve taken the blame?
You say you’re through, you’ll go your way
But I’ll always feel just the same

Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong
Loving you, dear, like I do
If it’s a crime, then I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you
