Sade - Is It A Crime Lyrics






This may come, this may come as some surprise
But I miss you
I could see through all of your lies
But still I miss you

He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
She takes, but surely she doesn't know how

Is it a crime,
Is it a crime,
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too?

My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the Empire State

It dives and it jumps, and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that. Surely you want me back

Is it a crime,
Is it a crime?
I still want you
And I want you to want me too

My love is wider than Victoria Lake
Taller than the Empire State

It dives and it jumps
I can't give you more than that. Surely you want me back

Is it a crime,
Is it a crime,
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too?

It dives and it jumps
And it ripples like the deepest ocean
Can't give you more than that
Surely you want it back

Tell me
Is it a crime?

    A musician that musicians listen to...SADE is probably one of the most unique voices ever..like a Sarah Vaughn of these last 3 generations...that's why I paid $525 for VIP TICKETS TO Phillips Arena back in 2011...3rd row,center stage seat...John Legend,SADE performed about 15 feet away from me...once in a LIFE TIME!!!

  13. A.... T....

    I remember driving to Philadelphia and buying six tickets at least six months in advance not knowing who else I was going to have join me to see her at the spectrum in Philadelphia totally free for the other five members drinks and meals and transportation included I really wanted this to be a night to remember finally the day came and I ended up outside with one member of our party who decided to act the fool I didn’t want anione to miss a chance to see her live so even though the other members were willing to babysit this member I took one for the team thank god for you tube and a 65in screen tv

  14. E.... P....

    I love me some SADE,
    I grow up listening to her also. I named my daughter after her.
    I love that her videos go with the words she is singing 🎤 about.
    Not like these videos and songs now. 🤦🏾‍♀️ smh

  21. S.... C....

    I'm 39 and I grew up with this. Thanks to mother I love u

  22. J.... S....

    almost every day when i'm at the office i try to listen to this song ... the melody and the growing imagery of her suffering together with the band and the sound notes .. Incredible!
    And SADE, as always, sensational! Acts with discretion and sings with emotion ... I love her :)

    2020! New decade with Sade🎉

  51. S.... H....

    Okay people pop-quiz question! ... From who is this line and which movie: I just wanna go home and listen to Sade...

  52. s.... b....

    2020!!!!!

  53. D.... D....

    I was named after this beautiful woman and effortless soulful singer 😇

  54. F.... B....

    Something bugs me. Sade's voice and music are one of the sweetest things I know in pop music. Classy, soft and highly sophisticated. Yet, most of her videos seem to tell us that the tender lover she so desperately needs... is the shady macho man, if not the mobster, that can be seen i the video punching other guys or women for dubious reasons. I would find it very disappointing to find that this exquisite woman is attracted to scum like this.

  55. B.... m....

    Brava!👏👏👏

  56. K.... R....

    Recently heartbroken so you know im feeling dis

  57. L.... H....

    my marriage will never be the same. if u can even call it a marriage

    L.... C....

  72. C.... S....

    theres no one who can tell me what to do i love hassan and thats it

  73. O.... S....

    This natural soul songstress girl beauty should WIN a lifetime achievement award at 2020 Grammys or some other future event like many singers from the 1900 - 1999's in the past. She absolutely deserves it since she they play her on the regular and many cite her as an inspiration! :D

  79. D.... V....

    She's a 'siren' of a woman with a divine voice so blessed and gifted yet so humble at heart!! Her voice is so tranquil and relaxing for the soul!!

  80. L.... ....
