I know they say love is a burning passion
But I never thought I’d burn just quite like this
And they say love is not a sin to condemn
But just one look and you’ll be thrown to the dogs
I swear all this is not what I meant
But all of my rights add up to this wrong
Good God, go and hate me
I've got nothing else to give
This is not a sin to spite

I'm sorry that this is my right
