The things she said to me
Just seem to drift away
I don't know
When I'll see her crime doesn't pay
My four grey walls
On me they're closing in
The crime I paid for
Some people class as sin
Yeah

And I see you drift away
Gets fainter every day
But crime don't pay, no

Gonna get back someday
This time I'm gonna try
Because my love for you
I said goodbye
Running around
With my head in my hands all the day
But I should have known
Yeah baby, crime don't pay no

And I see you drift away
Gets fainter every day
But crime don't pay, no

One, two, three, four!

Gonna get back someday
This time I'm gonna try
Because my love for you
I said goodbye
I got so stoned
I didn't know what to do
But I should have known
The right way was with you, yeah!

And I see you drift away
Gets fainter every day
But crime don't pay
