Testo di 'Innocent 'Til Proven Guilty' di Honey Cone

Please, let my testify
You accused me of another man
Before you lock my love away,
Let me take the witness stand
I'm innocent, ohhhh!

I'm innocent (Ooh, ooh)
'Til proven guilty ('Til proven guilty)
Before you lock my love away (Don't lock my love away)
Please hear what I have to say (Hear what I have to say)
Oh, I'm innocent (Ooh, ooh)
'Til proven guilty ('Til proven guilty)
Darlin', it's the law of the land (Don't lock my love away)
Don't punish me until you understand

You're accusing me of being unfaithful
Darlin', I'm innocent of your charge (I'm innocent)
This case is based of a line testimony
Of a jealous witness who wants your heart

Can't you see that she wants you? (She wants you)
All my tears in vain (Tears in vain)
I swear on a stack of burdens
Darlin', I've been framed
I'm innocent, ohhhhh!

I'm innocent (Ooh, ooh)
'Til proven guilty ('Til proven guilty)
Before you lock my love away (Don't lock my love away)
Please hear what I have to say (Hear what I have to say)
Oh, I'm innocent (Ooh, ooh)
'Til proven guilty ('Til proven guilty)
Darlin', it's the law of the land (Don't lock my love away)
Don't punish me until you understand

I never robbed the love that we shared
'Cause in my heart there's too much care
(I'm innocent)
And I never steal from the dreams that we've built
No other love would ever compare

But if you doubt my love (Doubt my love)
And the verdict is now withdrawn (Now withdrawn)
I swear on the love you gave
I love you when you're gone
I'm innocent, ohh-ohhhhhhhhhh!
Oh, oh, ohhhhh

[Interlude]

Waiting for the verdict to come
Tears streaming down my face
Your tender kiss upon my lips
Tells me that I've won my case
Oh! (Innocent, innocent)

I'm so glad I'm innocent (Ooh, ooh)
'Til proven guilty ('Til proven guilty)
So glad I fought my case (so glad I fought my case)
All doubts have been erased (all doubts have been erased)
Oh, I'm innocent, ohhhhhh (Ooh, ooh, 'til proven guilty)
Darlin', your faith in me (your faith in me)
It saved me from misery (saved me from misery)
