High Crime

Al Jarreau / Bobby Lyle / Jay Graydon

You better get a lawyer

When you said that it was time
To change your point of view
Never entered in my mind
That what you meant
Was we were through
Jumping to conclusions
Is really not my style
And if it's just an illusion
It'll vanish in a while
Perhaps the pain stinging
Is only in my mind
I can change my thinking
But my heart is crying "ouch"

High crime
What you doing to me
That you don't love me
That you don't love me

High, high crime
In the first degree
That you refuse my company
High, high crime
What you doing to me
That you don't love me
High, high crime
In the first degree
That you refuse to stick with me
You refuse to stay

Don't you get the message?

So this crazy night is through
And here's the morning sun
Even though I still love you
It's time to go and have some fun
So get yourself a lawyer
And I'll meet you down in court
Pray the judge is for you
'Cause I'm claiming non-support
Here's my deposition
You left me high and dry
You left me with a photograph
You didn't even sign

CHORUS:

High crime

That you refuse my company
You refuse to stay
Stick with me - high crime
Better get a lawyer
That you don't love me
That you don't love me
That you don't love me

High, high crime
Better get a lawyer quick
That you refuse to stick with me
High, high crime
