Isaac Hayes- I Stand Accused
isaac hayes was truly a soulful man. he dug deep for this song. here he relates the story of a man who has fallen deeply in love with a woman who is in a relationship. he’s completely aware that he should walk away and that his feelings are misplaced, but it doesn’t matter. he’s proud to love her and wants nothing more to have her love him despite present circumstances. truly a sad state to be in. *sniff* why am i crying??
I stand accused
Of lovin’ you too much
And I hope, I hope it’s not a crime
‘Cause if it is, I’m guilty
Of lovin’ you, you, you
I, I hope to God
That I never have, oh, to testify
‘Cause if I do
Everyone is gonna, they’re gonna cry
They’re gonna say
Alright he’s guilty
Of lovin’ a sweet girl like you
I know, I know
You belong to another
I, I may not stand a ghost of a chance
I’ll stand on top of Mount Everest
And proudly tell the world that I love ya
Oh yes, I will
Because I, I just can’t
I can’t help myself
I’m a victim of circumstance
And just one
Ooh, one touch of your hand
I don’t know how it happened
But just look at me
I find myself chillin’
On the witness stand
And I’m shoutin’ out
All over, all over the land
[Incomprehensible]
I’m guilty of lovin’, lovin’ you
I’m guilty of lovin’ you
I said, I’m guilty
But what can I do?
I wanna hold ya
I wanna squeeze ya tight
But my mind said
She belong to another
And that ain’t right
