O.V. Wright — Eight Men Four Women

[Intro] (Eight men, four women Lord, that's the jury of love) [Verse 1] I dreamed that love was a crime I was alone, so lonely and blue You know why? Because eight men and four women, Lord They found me guilty of loving you (loving you) [Verse 2] As they were taking me away You were taking, I saw you when you were taking the witness stand You know what? I heard the lawyer when he asked you, my love "Do you really love that man?" [Verse 3] It was eight men and four women (guilty) How could they be so blind (guilty) How could they? I knew they sat there And called true love a crime (this is what killed me) [Verse 4] But a tear rolled down my cheek I felt so sorry for you You know why? Because in my heart I knew, oh yes, baby I knew That they would find you guilty too [Verse 5] Judge, your honor and to the jury I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are innocent And true love is not a crime [Outro] (Lord, that's the jury of love) Lord, that's the jury of love A mean judge and a mean jury, oh, that's the jury of love (Lord, that's the jury of love) (Lord, that's the jury of love) (fade)
