A Nice Crime

Luther Ingram's song of yesteryear 
describes how I feel about you, dear. 
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right. 
I want you by my side day and night. 
You have proven to be such a delight. 
If loving you is committing a crime, 
then I don't mind doing the time.

Inspired by another member's poem.
