Whoa whoa whoa whoaaa, whoa whoa whoa whoaaa
It happened on a Tuesday, the day I take a rest
A small and unassuming glance just like all the rest
A criminal association one I didn't know
Practiced at the art of stimulation, I suppose
Chorus:
And I said hey yaay yeah, it's a love crime, it's a love crime
And I said hey yaay yeah, it's a love crime, it's a love crime
A touch in my direction so not that you would notice
A kiss blown from inside her head lights my face and melted
I turned and watched her light up just like a film production
If God gave love to all mankind he should have sent instructions
Chorus
Whoa whoa whoa whoaaa, whoa whoa whoa whoaaa
Chorus
I followed like disciples do, I blessed the ground she stood on
She led me to the place I knew I'd never laid a foot on
The grass as green as all I'd seen, and there she gave the love sign
She kissed my face and inner space was stolen in this love crime
Whoa whoa whoa whoaaa
We stood and held each other, forever so it seemed
And all the things that I'd believed had just been laserbeamed
She whispered something to me, a sound I'd never heard
Some Latin mixed with Martian and the world I knew went blurred
Chorus to fade
