Ever one to run away, ever one to leave Never one to hang around, never one to grieve If love turned into labour I would just resign Working through the hard times never crossed my mind Im guilty of entering and breaking hearts so dear Im guilty of unlawful flight and failing to appear Ive committed all the crimes of love, every felony Now I have but one defence, to plead insanity O where can I surrender, Im tired of being free I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me Im a big offender, o 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 God should just see fit to send sweet love my way again Id die before Id run away and be like I have been Oh where can I surrender, Im tired of being free I want love to come and make a prisoner out of me Im a big offender, o 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
