Guilty

It was early in the morning Every seat was filled The Judge bangs his gavel The verdict will be revealed The sentence would be life If it goes the plaintiff's way The accused consults his council For he has these words to say "Your Honor, I just can't help it I tried to walk away But something deep inside of me Told me I had to stay I didn't mean to do it But it built up in my chest There was nothing left for me to do So, that's the reason I confessed" A hush fell over the courtroom The Judge asked him for his plea He said, "Your Honor, I'm guilty Of love in the first degree" The Judge hands down his sentence And the plaintiff is now his wife "You must promise to love and cherish her For the rest of your natural life"
