You wonder how our love has died
It’s murder...by MY hand
A Crime of Passion’s what it is
I hope you understand
I spilt the blood of dying love
Put sword in to the hilt
And now I wear my mourning gown
But heart is free of guilt
Audacious is that question, “dear”
Forgot my tears last night?
Embrace refused, you turned your back
And said, “Turn out the light!”
And did you ever question, “dear”
How this poor heart did tear
Those nights of passion you’d deny
Though heart and soul I’d bare
Some lukewarm love is not enough
this woman’s heart to fill
You think that only you have needs
Well, that prompted the kill!!!
It was a crime of Passion, “dear”
She really forced my hand
To live without her ecstasy
Was more than I could stand!
I wanted more than you could give
My body’d throb and ache
To show that I was satisfied
Love making I would fake
And here you come and beg of me
To resurrect our love
We’ll it’s done gone and buried, “dear”
The spirit’s flown above
I walk right past the tomb and laugh
At all past misery
For now, you see, there is someone
Who gives Passion to me…

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants
Don't the mistake of thinkin' old fashioned [Ooh, ooh]
Times have changed from yesterday
But no longer will those old double standards [Ooh, ooh]
Be accepted by the women of today
So when you think you're foolin' her
She just might be foolin' you
Remember if you can do it
She can too
Because a woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants
When her eyes are beggin' for affection [Ooh, ooh]
Don't put her off, don't make her wait
Don't try to give her that worn out excuse [Ooh, ooh]
About being tired and workin' late
I tell you one day you'll come home
Early from work [Home from work]
Open up the door
And get your feelings hurt
Because she needs it, yeah [Just like you do, hoo]
A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah, just like you
And if you're smart, mmm, [Just like you do, hoo] you better stop foolin'
around, hey, hey
'Cause she will too, oh
Just like you do, hoo
Thinking that she don't, hoo, ooh
Just like you, hoo
Now an example to you
Is by the time poor Jack
Returned up the hill
Somebody else
Had been lovin' Jill
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't
She can fool around [Yeah, just like you do, hoo], she will fool around so
You better take out some insurance and be sure she won't
Give her the love, mmm [Just like you do, hoo], yeah
That sweet, sweet love, she wants it just like you
'Cause she can fool around [Just like you do, hoo] just like she will fool
around
With you or without you, just like you do
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't, hoo, ooh
She can fool around just like you, hoo
A woman needs it just like you
