I Stand Accused
Elvis Costello
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 Yeah 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 Baby I always will be I need a witness baby Solo base: You disturbed my balance of mind I couldn’t help what I did at the time I stand accused and I’m guilty Baby I always will be 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
