I Stand Accused
Jerry Butler


I
Stand accused
Of loving you too much
I hope
I sure hope it's not a crime
Cause I'm guilty

Oh... I hope that I never have to testify
If I do
Everyone's gonna cry
That boy is guilty of loving you
And though you belong to another
And I may not stand a ghost of a chance
I'll tell the world that I love you
And I'm a victim
Of circumstance
That's been proven guilty
Oh, yes, I am
Did you know one
Touch of your hand
And I find myself
On the witness stand
Shouting out, all over the land
Hey, hey, I'm guilty
Guilty of living you
I'm guilty but what can I do
I wanna hold you
