Innocent Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been a victim of some sorry circ*mstance
That was committed by somebody else's hand
And only heaven knows how I've ended up so broke
I ain't guilty but I'm left fearing the stand

[Chorus]
It's not my crime
Why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man

[Verse 2]
How was I supposed to know that I'd be fooled?
And the sweetest kiss could ever be so cruel
I could always let it go, but it's out of my control
Now I'm right back here still holding on to you

[Chorus]
It's not my crime
Why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man
[Post Chorus]
Man, man
Man, man

[Bridge]
From wanting to needing
You cut me, I'm bleeding
This heart keeps on beating for you

[Chorus]
It's not my crime
Why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand

[Chorus]
It's not my crime
Why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man

[Outro]
Ooh...
