I Killed

He told me where to go,
And what I was to do.
I said "I'll Do It,
"Because I Love You."

We took a child off the street,
He was strangled in front of my eyes.
My heart grew colder with each murder,
Which came as no surprise.

He told me where to go,
And what I was to do.
I said "I'll Do It,
"Because I Love You."

We stole again and again,
Getting worse with the each one.
We never thought how they were someones daughter,
Or somebodys much loved son.

He told me where to go,
And what I was to do.
I said "I'll Do It,
"Because I Love You."

The police came and took us,
Locked us up in a cell.
Newpapers screamed out my picture,
Said I should burn in hell.

He told me where to go,
And what I was to do.
I said "I'll Do It,
"Because I Love You."

I was told to tell the truth,
But I told them some lies instead.
I didn't see how it mattered,
The children were already dead.

He told me where to go,
And what I was to do.
I said "I'll Do It,
"Because I Love You."

I was stuck in there for life,
Without him to tell me what to do.
I decided to tell them it was him,
Swore on the Bible it was true.

He couldn't tell me where to go,
And so I didn't know what to do.
I said "I Wish That I Was Dead,
"Because I Still Love You."
