Lyrics - 'If Love Was A Crime'
You and I, we collide
Like the stars on the summer night
We can shine forever
And you and I, we're alive
What we feel is what is right
We can run like never
If love was a crime then we would be criminals
Locked up for life, but I'll do the time
If love was a crime then we would work miracles
High above the ground
They will never break us down
They will never break us down
Never mind
Wrong or right
Our love ain't got no pride
So we change for better
Unafraid
Never fade
When it's dark we illuminate
Can we rise together?
If love was a crime then we would be criminals
Locked up for life, but I'll do the time
If love was a crime then we would work miracles
High above the ground
They will never break us down
They will never break us down
Together we're untouchable
You and me against the world
Together we're invincible
Together we're untouchable
You and me against the world
Together we're invincible
They will never break us down
