Words Of Warning Took Me By Surprise

From A Voice I Hardly Recognised

Well My Heart Was Beating Faster

And My Blood Ran Hot And Cold

I Was Heading For Disaster

When Suddenly I Realised That I Had Lost Control



Loaded Questions Played Upon My Mind

Allegations I Could Not Deny

Well My Mind Was In Confusion

Had My Back Against The Wall

I'd Been Led Into Collusion

Before I Realised I Was A Victim Of It All



Chorus:



Here's To My Crime Of Passion

I Can't Forget The Look Upon Your Face

And To Your Tender Mercies

Goodbye To All The Innocence We Never Can Replace



All Of Sunday Sittin' By The Telephone

Not A Whisper, Well I Should Have Known

But It Seems That I'd Insisted

'Cause In Spite Of All You Said

I Believe My Words Were Twisted

As Line By Line The Promises Were Spinning Round My Head



(Chorus)



Waves Of Anger Slowly Do Recede

To Faded Memories That I'll Never Need

But My Mind Keeps On Returning To The Way It Used To Be

There's A Flame Forever Burning

There's Nothing I Can Say To You Will Ever Make You See



Here's To My Crime Of Passion

I Just Can't Seem To Shake It Off My Mind

As For Your Tender Mercy

I'll Never Stop Regretting That I Left It All Behind
