Lyrics and translation

Original

You got to open your eyes in the morning

Nine o'clock comin' without 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 a-sleepin'

Starts into weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin'

And you better get your ass out the door

Ain't no crime

Yeah, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind

It ain't no crime,

Well, ev'rybody gets that way sometime

It ain't no crime

Oh

You got to open your eyes in the morning

Nine o'clock comin' without any warnin'

And you must 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'ry day

Ain't no crime

Well it's just human nature, happens all the time

It ain't no crime

Well don't think twice about it, get it off your mind

It ain't no crime

Oh

Ain't no crime

Well, it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind

Ah, hey, it ain't no crime

Well, it's just human nature, happens all the time

It ain't no crime

Oh

You got to open your eyes in the morning

Nine o'clock comin' without any warnin'

And you gotta get ready to go

And just as surely as the wind keeps blowin'

The grass keeps growin', you gotta keep goin'

And the Lord'll have mercy on your soul

Oooh, yeah
