Crime Of The Heart

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

When I think about love

Honey, you always

come across my mind

Is it the way that you hold me

Or the way that

you told me love is blind

Well, it's a crime of the heart

These things I'm

thinking to myself

But I can't forget you, babe

Just can't seem to

think of nothing else.



Got a woman at home

A family to feed

Three fine children

They think the Lord of me

Now I'm standing

at the crossroads

Looking for a sign of true love.



Well, I heard that song

Says girls just wanna have fun

Well, I guess I

bought my ticket, honey

'Cause it feels as if

the ride has just begun

Well, there's two kinds of love

One is wrong and one is right

But I can't forget you baby

Can't forget

the way you hold me tight.



I got a woman at home

A family to feed

Three fine children

They think the Lord of me

Well, I'm standing

at the crossroads

Looking for a sign of true love.



When I think about women

Honey, you always

come across my mind

Is it the way that you told me

The way you told me love is blind

Well, it's a crime of the heart

These things I'm

thinking to myself now

Can't forget you, babe

Can't forget

the way you make me feel.



I got a woman at home

A family to feed

Three fine children

At the crossroads

Looking for a sign of true love.
