Love Crimes Lyrics by Jim Caroll

Love Crimes Lyrics

    Hollywood looks good at night
    The tvs get fine reception
    But last night jean told steve
    About her imminent conception

    She wants a plum tree for the house, for their child
    Stevie raised his head and said, "that's wild!"

    Stevie tried and tried
    Jean would not comply
    She said, "your partying needs, you see,
    Ain't nothing to this seed in me
    You make love a crime

    Billy don't live in his spirit
    Billy don't live in his heart
    Billy walks around times square at night
    His body is his art

    Life is easy when you're pretty and 16
    Just make sure that your underwear is clean

    Billy don't ask why
    He just stares at the sky
    He says, "love always leaves you bent,
    This way i pay the rent."
    He makes love a crime

    I still believe in romance
    I just think there's something missing
    'cause last night just by chance,
    I saw you and ivan kissing

    Jealousy rose up right
    From its hole
    Just when i had it all under control

    Say goodbye, goodbye
    'cause you're both gonna die
    Don't ask me why
    It's all in your eyes,
    You made love a crime

    Don't ask me why
    It reflects in your eyes
    You made love a crime
