I've been a victim of some sorry circumstance That was committed by somebody else's hand And only heaven knows how I've ended up so broke I ain't guilty but I'm left fearing the stand It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay? I'm doing time This feeling I can't shake I'm lost in the suffering for nothing My heart don't understand It's beating for an innocent man How was I supposed to know that I'd be fooled? And the sweetest kiss could ever be so cruel I could always let it go But it's out of my control Now I'm right back here Still holding on to you It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay? I'm doing time This feeling I can't shake I'm lost in the suffering for nothing My heart don't understand It's beating for an innocent man Man, man From wanting to needing You cut me, I'm bleeding This heart keeps on beating For you It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay? I'm doing time This feeling I can't shake I'm lost in the suffering for nothing My heart don't understand It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay? I'm doing time This feeling I can't shake I'm lost in the suffering for nothing My heart don't understand It's beating for an innocent man Ooh
