I've been a victim of some sorry circumstances
That was committed by somebody else's hand
And only heaven knows how I've ended up so broke
I ain't guilty but I'm left fearing the stand

It's not my crime, why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing,
my heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man

How was I supposed to know that I'd be fooled
And the sweetest kiss could ever be so cruel
I could always let it go, but it's out of my control
Now I'm right back here still holding on to you

It's not my crime, why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing,
my heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man

Wanting, to meeting, cut me I'm bleeding,
this heart keeps on beating for you

It's not my crime, why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing,
my heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man

It's not my crime, why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing,
my heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man
