Tried And Convicted

Bobby Womack

Compositor: Bobby Womack

Don't let a quarrel, no, baby
Don't let it keep us apart, oh yeah
Let's get together, let's get together, baby
And try to make a new start

You let your girlfriend tell you all she's seen
Have you ever thought she was trying to get close to me
But look what you've done
You tried me for the crime I didn't commit, no
No, no, no, no, no, I didn't do it, oh

We've been together, yes, baby
We've been together just a little too long, oh, yeah
But I can see time
And I can see our love slowly fading away
And I know time ain't long

Oh, don't you kid yourself
Can't you see that I love you, nobody else
I've been tried, convicted, baby
Of a crime I didn't commit, no
No, no, no, no, no, I didn't do it
Got to sit down and talk it over
Oh, no, no, no, I din't do it
Let me tell you, baby
