State your case

Lots of people talkin’
lots of talk that you’ve
been seen in places
you shouldn’t be seen in
don’t want to believe them
so give me one reason
why I should believe one word you say
I’d like to know what this is alla about
if there’s some reason for some
reasonable doubt, just…

State your case cuz if you’re so innocent
tell me why you act so guilty
when I ask you where you’ve been
state your case cuz you got a lot to prove
and you got a lot to lose
and it’s a crime to lie to me.

Something’s feeling not right
don’t like what it feels like
tried to call you where were you last night
have you gone undercover, found
another lover
have you got no love for me no more
all your excuses just ain’t making sense
I think it’s time you say something in your defense, so…

State your case cuz if you’re so innocent
tell me why you act so guilty
when I ask you where you’ve been
state your case cuz you got a lot to prove
and you got a lot to lose
and it’s a crime to lie to me.

If you’re over it then just admit it
don’t keep the masquerade
up one more minute
but if there’s some way I’ve
made some mistake
let me see some evidence so i can be
convinced…

State your case cuz
if you’re so innocent
tell me why you act so guilty
state your case cuz if you’re so innocent
tell me why you act so guilty
when I ask you where you’ve been
state your case cuz you got a lot to prove
and you got a lot to lose
and it’s a crime to lie to me
crime if you lie to me
crime if you lie to me.
