Hello everyone it's my first time posting in this community, I'm glad to be among the participant of this weeks open mike contest, I'll be singing IF LOVE IS A CRIME BY 2FACE IDIBIA A.K.A 2BABA. I hope I'm welcome 🤗. Thanks and enjoy.
Firstly I'll like to explain how this song is related this weeks theme which is TAKE ME HOME and suggested by the spotlight author @starstrings01 .
2face Idibia is a Nigerian musician that has a lot of hit songs in the early 2000's, he is still a legend in the Nigerian music industry and well respected.
His song if love is a crime talks about his relationship with a lady he so much loved and he was willing to even get haunted for her sake. All he wanted from this lady is to simply take her home, he promised not to use her as just a girlfriend because he saw his wife in her.
The song is a love song demonstrating how committed a lover is to the woman of his dreams, and how much of respect he has for a woman's decency. Enjoy.
Below is the lyrics;
If Love Is A Crime"
Huh huuuh [x4]
[Verse 1]
There's been a lot of toasting,
A lot of guys have been up to her,
But she told them she was waiting
For the one that God had sent to fulfill her kind of craving,
A special kind of loving,
One with love and understanding,
Come raining come shining;
People started to say that she wanted more than Mr. RIGHT,
All that she wanted was the man that sees the LIGHT,
They say she's a fool for being up too TIGHT,
When all that she wanted was good love, no be FIGHT;
That special kind of girl hard to come by,
This kind of girl na I'm I want to make wife,
You're the one,
I say no more,
Don't bother about what the people say
cos I say...
[Chorus]
Every time that I look into your eyes, I see FIRE in there (Theres Fire)
And if you look into my eyes, you see DESIRE in there (DESIRE...);
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, then I'm willing to be WANTED;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, I'm willing to be HAUNTED;
I've gotta lot of respect for you cos your kind is SO RARE (SO RARE...),
It's kind of hard to imagine but I know YOU'RE OUT
THERE (YOU'RE OUT THERE...);
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, then I'm willing to be WANTED;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, I'm willing to be HAUNTED;
[Verse 2]
She said to me: "Do you wanna be the last man standing",
She said to me: "Do you wanna be the one that'll be complimenting me";
Huuuh yeah! Girl, I wanna be your beginning and your ending,
Oooooh! I wanna be the only one that you'll be sending;
I can't believe she's still a virgin,
A lot of guys have been up to her,
But there's was no compromising;
She'd be strong,
she'd keeping herself until the day of her wedding,
Under the right ceiling,
With the right person,
That person deserving all that special kind of loving;
And full lyrics can be found on A-Z website.
