“I’ve never wanted to write the kind of lyrics that forward plot. I wanted them to take us into what cannot be said and what can only be felt.” -Steven Sater


i see you over there with a smirk on your face

i know i’m too good for you but i can’t walk away

our banter back and forth sets my heart on fire

can’t stand each other but you’re my greatest desire

 

screw you, screw you

i know i didn’t think this through

but no one else is always on my mind


hate you, love you

for the things you make me wanna do

we could be each other’s sweetest crime

 

i’d sell my soul to the devil and i’d seal my fate

even though you have the nerve to think you’re better than me

and i’d run to the altar to confess my sins

for the crimes of passion you make me wanna commit

 

how can one person make me feel so many ways?

i was your rival now you’re calling me “babe”

vindictive kisses from your lips onto mine

anger, love, just shut up

you better not waste my time

 

screw you, screw you

although i didn’t think this through

i forget all that when your hand is in mine


hate you, love you

but there’s nothing else i’d rather do

‘cause we’re each other’s sweetest crime

 

i’ll sell my soul to the devil and i’ll seal my fate

even though you have the nerve to think you’re better than me

and i’ll run to the altar to confess my sins

for the crimes of passion you made me commit

 

bittersweet enemies

‘cause boy you love me down

sensual rivalries

romeo and juliet are nothing compared to you and me


i sold my soul to the devil and i sealed my fate even though you think you’re better than me

 

i sold my soul to the devil and i sealed my fate

even though you have the nerve to think you’re better than me

and i ran to the altar to confess my sins

for the crimes of passion


i sold my soul to the devil and i sealed my fate

even though i hate you for it, i would do it again

apologized to the angels for all of my sins

for the crimes of passion you made me commit


the crimes of passion i’ll never forget

the crimes of passion you made me commit
