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
5 2-7 5
It pleads to you for your true love to set it Free

Why Do You Punish Me - is love a Crime
5-7 1
If so, I'll spend a lifetime loving, serving Time
Repeat last verse.
