You got to open your eyes in the morning

Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'

And you gotta get ready to go

You say you went out late last evenin'

Did a lot of drinkin'

Come home stinkin'

And you went and fell asleep on the floor

And then your lady comes and finds you asleepin'

Starts in to weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin'

And you better get your ass out the door



Ain't no crime

Say ev'rybody gets that way some time

Ain't no crime

You know it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind

Oh no, it ain't no crime. Oh.



You got to open your eyes in the morning

Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'

And you gotta get ready to go

Well now you tell me you love somebody

And you'll love 'em forever

You may love 'em forever

But you won't like 'em all of the time

Well now you tell me you need somebody for the rest of your life

You might have somebody

But you won't want 'em ev'ryday



Ain't no crime

Say ev'rybody gets that way some time

Ain't no crime

Well it's just human nature

Happens all the time

Oh no, it ain't no crime. Oh



And just as surely as the wind keeps blowin'

The grass keeps growin'

You gotta keep goin'

And the Lord have mercy on your soul

La, la la la.
