[Intro]
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
There's been a lot of toasting
A lot of guys have been up to her
But she told them she was waiting
For the one that God had sent to fulfill her kind of craving
A special kind of loving
One with love and understanding
Come rain, come shining
People started to say that she wanted more than a Mr. Right
All that she wanted was the man that sees the light
They say she's a fool for being uptight
When all that she wanted was good love, no be fight
That special kind of girl, hard to come by
This kind of girl na im I want to make my wife
You are the one, say no more
Don't bother about what the people say
'Cause I say
[Chorus]
Every time that I look into your eyes I see fire in there (fire)
And if you look into my eyes, see desire in there (desire)
Girl, if love is a crime then I want to be wanted
Said if love is a crime then I'm willing to be hunted
Got a lot of respect for you
'Cause your kind is so rare (so rare)
It's kind of hard to imagine but I know you're out there (you're out there)
Then if love is a crime then I want to be wanted
If love is a crime, I'm willing to be hunted
[Verse 2]
She said to me:
"Do you want to be the last man standing?"
She said to me:
"Do you wanna be the one that them complimenting?"
Oh yeah
Girl I want to be your beginning and your ending
Oh
I wanna be the only one
That you'll be sending
I can't believe she's still a virgin
Lot of guys have been up to her but there was no compromising
She'd be strong, she'd keeping herself until the day of her wedding
Under the right ceiling
With the right person
A person deserving of her special kind of loving
[Chorus]
Every time that I look into your eyes I see fire in there (fire)
And if you look into my eyes, see desire in there (desire)
Girl, if love is a crime then I want to be wanted
Said if love is a crime then I'm willing to be hunted (eh)
I've got a lot of respect for you
'Cause your kind is so rare (so rare)
It's kind of hard to imagine but I know you're out there (you're out there)
Then if love is a crime then I want to be wanted
Then if love is a crime, then if love is a crime
[Outro]
So keep the fire, burning
Keep the fire burning, burning, burning
Fire, burning
Keep the fire burning
Keep it burning
Fire, burning
Keep the fire burning, burning, burning
Fire, burning
Keep it burning, keep it burning
Fire, burning
If love is a crime then I like to dey go jail
Fire, burning
I said if love is a crime then I prefer to dey stay jail
Keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning, keep the fire burning
Fire, burning
See
Fire, burning
Every time that I look into your eyes I see fire in there
Keep the fire burning
And if you look into my eyes, see desire in there
Keep the fire burning
Girl if love is a crime, if love is a crime
Fire, burning
Girl if love is a crime
