Innocent Bystander Lyrics

Innocent Bystander lyrics

(Billy Dean/David Gates)

 

 I was mindin' my own business

 When you came in dressed to kill

 I knew right then, I was in trouble

 But not of my own free will

 Now I have to say in my defense

 I ain't done nothin' wrong

 Just circumstantial evidence

 Is all you got me on

 

 I was just an innocent bystander

 Caught up in love

 And since when was that a crime

 If sayin' that I'm wanting you is slander

 And you're all I'm thinkin' of

 Then I'll gladly do my time

 

 There's no jury, their right mind

 Would convict someone like me

 Cause the way you walk, the way you talk

 I could plead insanity

 But I'm prepared to tell the whole truth now

 I don't need no alibi

 You just put me on that witness stand

 And I will testify

 

 I was just an innocent bystander

 Caught up in love

 And since when was that a crime

 If sayin' that I'm wanting you is slander

 And you're all I'm thinkin' of

 Then I'll gladly do my time

 

 I was just an innocent bystander

 Caught up in love

 And since when was that a crime

 If sayin' that I'm wanting you is slander

 And you're all I'm thinkin' of

 Then I'll gladly do my time

 I was just an innocent bystander
