Ever want to run away
Ever want to leave
Never want to hang around
Never want to grieve
If love turned into labor
I would just resign
Working through the hard times
Never cross my mind
And I'm guilty of entering and breaking hearts so dear
Guilty of unlawful flight and failing to appear
I've committed all the crimes of love every felony
Now I have but one defense to plead insanity
Where can I surrender
I'm tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me
I'm a big offender oh love come capture me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Events have come full circle
Now I spend my nights alone
Where love was once so full and free
Love has up and gone
If the good lord should see
Fit to bring sweet love my way again
I'll die before I run away and be the fool I've been
Oh
Where can I surrender
I'm tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me
I'm a big offender oh love come capture me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
