Innocent Man lyrics

I've been a victim of some sorry circumstance

That was committed by somebody else's hand

And only heaven knows how I've ended up so broke

I ain't guilty but I'm left fearing the stand

It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?

I'm doing time

This feeling I can't shake

I'm lost in the suffering for nothing

My heart don't understand

It's beating for an innocent man

How was I supposed to know that I'd be fooled?

And the sweetest kiss could ever be so cruel

I could always let it go

But it's out of my control

Now I'm right back here

Still holding on to you

It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?

I'm doing time

This feeling I can't shake

I'm lost in the suffering for nothing

My heart don't understand

It's beating for an innocent man

Man, man

From wanting to needing

You cut me, I'm bleeding

This heart keeps on beating

For you

It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?

I'm doing time

This feeling I can't shake

I'm lost in the suffering for nothing

My heart don't understand

It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?

I'm doing time

This feeling I can't shake

I'm lost in the suffering for nothing

My heart don't understand

It's beating for an innocent man
