Lyrics Crime Don't Pay - Brian Setzer , Mike Ness
Yeah
Drinking, gambling and women
Stealin' hearts and playin' with guns
But the law's the law and baby, that's a fact
And now I'm on the run
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
Woah
My poor heart is aching
It never did before
It seems my indiscretion served a painful lesson
And I'm still begging for more
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
Baby, crime don't pay
Woah
Woah
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
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
Baby, crime don't pay
Woah
Baby, crime don't pay
Baby, crime don't pay
Don't slip me, Daniel
