Love Sentence
Written by: Doug Scharley
Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.
They'll never catch me
Is the attitude I had
A player to the end
I was good at being bad
I never met a woman
Who I couldn't live without
I considered myself bulletproof
Of that I had no doubt
But an unexpected incident
Changed my way of life
I met you, fell in love
And now you are my wife
(Chorus)
Down came the gavel
And the judge had her say
She looked me in the eyes
And said this is your lucky day
I may be somewhat different
But this is how I roll
I'm giving you a love sentence ........
with no parole
Everything changed
From the moment I met you
I no longer was a lady's man
I'm sad to say it's true
I had never met a woman
Who made me wanna stay
But as soon as I laid
Eyes on you I knew I'd never stray
This was puzzling and curious
And took me by surprise
But I couldn't seem to fight
Was all I could surmise
(Chorus)
Down came the gavel
And the judge had her say
She looked me in the eyes
And said this is your lucky day
I may be somewhat different
But this is how I roll
I'm giving you a love sentence ........
with no parole
I'm as happy as a puppy
Since I started doing time
The guards are understanding
And the warden's looking fine
I've never had the urge
To try to make a break
I know deep on my heart
That it'd be a huge mistake
I surrendered my old lifestyle
No more a wanted man
I'm now a trusted inmate
Reformed and feeling grand
(Chorus)
Down came the gavel
And the judge had her say
She looked me in the eyes
And said this is your lucky day
I may be somewhat different
But this is how I roll
I'm giving you a love sentence ........
with no parole
