Guilty
L.A Noire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes by god I'm guilty as hell
You could say
I'm guilty as hell
Of wanting my own way
Guilty of not giving others
The benefit of the doubt
Using my time unwisely
Those seven deadly sins
Guilty of them all
You know what they say
Pride comes before a fall
Guilty of not giving a darn
Being unkind
Of wanting to control
Cutting in line
Guilty of being selfish
Not doing what I am told to do
Telling white lies
Green with envy too
Yes I will take to the grave
All the wrongs that I have done
Behaving badly
Don't hurt no one
Guilty of not caring
What others think
Guilty of not sharing
Calling in sick
Being afraid
Not answering the phone
Not tipping the waiter
Pretending I'm not home
Guilty of lusting after someone
Thinking I'm not enough
Not being true to myself
Caring too much
Guilty of not being grateful
Of doing what I want
Bouncing a check or two
When I thought I wouldn't get caught
Guilty of being unfair
Unkind
Not speaking up
If something's on my mind
Guilty of putting myself first
Not doing what I'm told
Telling white lies
Guilty of being too old
Guilty of giving up
Giving it all away
Punishing myself
Making a mistake
Fudging on my taxes
Not answering the phone
Wishing harm to others
Pretending I'm not home

Baby you know I'm Guilty.
Cops, judge, and jury they all agree
if love's the crime, i'm doing time
and i don't look like I'll ever get free
yeah baby you know I'm guilty.
Baby you know I'm guilty
while you're my Clyde I'll be your Bonnie
I could pretend, I'll be good again
but why, lovin' you is the charge I'll never beat
cause baby you know I'm guilty.
Baby you know I'm guilty.
so lock me up and throw away the key
I don't need no bail if you're the jail
just give me life and grant me no reprieve
cause baby who knows, this case is closed
and I don't suppose I'll make a plea
cause baby you know I'm guilty.
