Lord, that's the jury of love)   
 
I d reamed that love was a crime  
 
I was alone, so lonely and blue  
You know why? Because eight men and f our  women, Lord  
They found me guilty of loving you (loving  you)   
 
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?"  
   
It was eight men and four women (guilty)  
How could they   be so blind (guilty)  
How could they? I knew t hey sat there  
And called true love a crime (this is what killed me)   
 
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  
  
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  
   
(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)
