Well I've been accused of
breaking hearts, they say
that I'm no good.
But don't go trusting
everything you hear.
Honey, we don't need no witnesses,
just let me testify.
And I'll make the evidence
come crystal clear.

You be the judge,
honey we don't need no jury.
We can handle this alone,
I'll show you my side of the story.
Don't turn me loose
when I get through,
just sentence me to love with you.
You be the judge,
you be the judge.

Well if wanting you is a crime,
I guess I'm guilty to the bone.
And I can't go straight
no matter how I try.
You turn me up the river, girl,
'cause you decide my fate.
But loving you is
a charge I won't deny.

You be the judge,
honey we don't need no jury.
We can handle this alone,
I'll show you my side of the story.
Don't turn me loose
when I get through,
just sentence me to love with you.
You be the judge,
you be the judge,

You be the judge,
honey we don't need no jury.
We can handle this alone,
I'll show you my side of the story.
You be the judge.
