Don't Make Our Love a Crime
Passionate Redemption: Cheap Trick's Unconventional Love Story
Lyrics
Give me passion, I'll make it good
Expressing a desire for intense emotion; commitment to making the relationship satisfying.
I'm not crazy, just misunderstood
Asserting sanity but feeling misunderstood by others.
And I want to be caught with you
Wishing to be caught or discovered in a romantic context.
Oh yeah
Affirmation of enthusiasm for the idea mentioned in line 3.
I've been framed all my life
Feeling unfairly implicated or blamed throughout one's life.
Didn't do it, I'm no enemy
Denying wrongdoing and declaring a lack of hostility.
Now I want to be blamed with you
Expressing a desire to share blame or responsibility in the relationship.
Oh no
Denying malicious intent or harm.
Don't you make our love a crime
Requesting not to treat their love as a wrongdoing.
Please don't make our love a crime
Reiterating the plea to avoid criminalizing their love.
If you do we'll all regret it in time
Warning of potential regret if their love is deemed a crime.
So don't you make our love a crime
Reemphasizing the plea to avoid making their love a crime.
You murdered just a part of me
Feeling emotionally wounded but resilient and alive.
I'm still alive and breathin' free
Asserting survival and freedom despite emotional harm.
I want to be punished with you
Expressing a willingness to face consequences together.
I know what you're goin' through
Acknowledging understanding of the partner's struggles.
You gave me a fatal bite
Referring to a significant emotional impact received from the partner.
I want to spend my time with you, you, you
Expressing a desire to spend time with the partner despite challenges.
Don't you make our love a crime
Repeating the plea to avoid criminalizing their love.
Please don't make our love a crime
Reiterating the request not to consider their love as a crime.
If you do we'll all regret it in time
Reinforcing the potential regret if their love is deemed criminal.
So don't you make our love a crime
Restating the plea to refrain from making their love a crime.
I know what you're goin' through
Acknowledging empathy for the partner's struggles.
It's happened to me once before
Sharing personal experience of going through similar challenges before.
And I know what you're gonna do
Predicting the partner's actions based on empathy.
I want to spend some time with you
Expressing a desire to spend quality time with the partner.
It's stronger than it was before
Highlighting the strengthened bond and commitment in the relationship.
And I've saved it up for you, you, you
Reserved emotions saved for the partner.
Don't you make our love a crime
Repeating the plea to avoid criminalizing their love.
So please don't make our love a crime
Reiterating the request not to consider their love as a crime.
If you do we'll all regret it in time
Reinforcing the potential regret if their love is deemed criminal.
So don't you make our love a crime
Restating the plea to refrain from making their love a crime.
A crime, no
Final plea to avoid categorizing their love as a crime.
