Lyrics

Opening:
You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock comin' without any warnin'
And you gotta get ready to go

You say you went out late last evenin'
Did a lot of drinkin', come home stinkin'
And you went and fell asleep on the floor
And then your lady comes and finds you a)sleepin'
Starts into weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin'
And you better get your ass out the door

Ain't no crime
Yeah, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
It ain't no crime
Well, ev'rybody gets that way sometime
It ain't no crime
Oh

Opening

Well now you tell me you love somebody
And you'll love 'em forever, you may love 'em forever
But you won't like 'em all of the time
Well now you tell me you need somebody
For the rest of your life you might have somebody
But you won't want 'em ev'ry day

Ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature, happens all the time
It ain't no crime
Well don't think twice about gettin' it off your mind
It ain't no crime
Oh

Ain't no crime
Yeah, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
It ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature, happens all the time
It ain't no crime
Oh

Opening

And just as surely as the wind keeps blowin'
The grass keeps growin', you gotta keep goin'
And the lord have mercy on your soul
Oooh, la la la la
