Lyrics for I Stand Accused - Live At The Dominion Theatre, 1978

Girl, I stand accused, people say I love you Yeah, I stand accused, oh, but what can I do? You belong to some other guy Hope I never have to testify If loving you is a big crime I've been guilty one time Girl, I stand accused with no more than a chance Yeah, I stand accused and I got no defense All I need is a touch from your hand Find myself on the witness stand I'd be unable to lie, girl I got a love that won't die, girl Tell the world that I was guilty I wouldn't stand a chance Tell the world that I was a victim Victim of circumstance They might show some mercy if I could explain Yeah, I love you so much that I'm almost insane You disturb my balance of mind Couldn't help what I did at the time I stand accused and I'm guilty Baby, I always will be I need a witness, baby You disturb my balance of mind Couldn't help what I did at the time I stand accused and I'm guilty Baby, I always will be I need a witness, baby I stand accused of loving you I stand accused of loving you, oh yeah I stand accused, oh yeah I stand accused, oh Oh girl, oh yeah I stand accused, oh
