Lyrics
Girl, I i stand accused
Expressing being accused or judged.
Of loving you just a little too much
Admitting to loving the person excessively.
And I hope, oh Lord
Expressing hope that excessive love is not considered a crime.
Sure enough hope it's not a crime
Reiterating hope that loving intensely is not a wrongdoing.
Oh, guilty of loving you oh, baby
Acknowledging guilt for loving intensely.
Oh, I i hope that I
Expressing the hope of avoiding the need to testify.
That I never, never, never have to testify
Expressing a desire to avoid testifying about love.
But if I do, if I do, everyone's gonna cry
Acknowledging potential emotional impact if testifying becomes necessary.
Baby that boy is guilty, oh Lord
Emphasizing guilt for intense love.
Of loving you
Reiterating guilt for loving the person.
Although, you belong to another
Acknowledging the person's belonging to another.
Another boy, baby
Affirming the other person's status as belonging to someone else.
And I may not stand the ghost of a chance
Expressing a slim chance in the romantic situation.
But I'll tell the world
Declaring love to the world despite challenges.
Y'all, I love her, I need her, baby
Expressing deep feelings and need for the person.
And I'm a victim of circumstance
Claiming to be a victim of circumstances in love.
And been proven guilty
Acknowledging being proven guilty of intense love.
Oh, yes, I am, yes I am
Reiterating acknowledgment of guilt in love.
Did you know? One touch
Highlighting the impact of physical touch.
Lord, lord, lord, of your hand, baby
Expressing the powerful effect of the person's touch.
And I find myself
Describing the immediate return to emotional vulnerability.
Right back, right back on the witness stand
Emphasizing the recurring emotional vulnerability.
Darling
Endearing term for the person.
Shouting out, shouting out, shouting out
Expressing guilt and love loudly and widely.
All over the land i'm guilty
Reiterating guilt on a broad scale.
I'm guilty
Repeating the admission of guilt.
Oh, Lord, lord, lord baby
Seeking mercy or understanding from a higher power.
Oh, please, mama please, please
Pleading for mercy or understanding from a maternal figure.
