nc 1 4 1
Why Do You Punish Me - for loving You
You're counting my mistakes - how about Yours
nc 1 4 1
Why do you sentence me - to nights of Tears
Convicting all these Dreams
I've dreamed for all these Years
My heart cries out behind these prison Bars
It pleads to you for your true love to set it Free
nc 1 4 1
Why Do You Punish Me - is love a Crime
If so, I'll spend a lifetime loving, serving Time
Repeat last verse.
