[Lyric] Valencrimes (Howell Dawdy)

Fortunately for us
We can do what we want
It’s a free dang nation
And so we’re celebrating our love

But what if someone came to power
For whom love made their heart feel sour

Lets say there’s written
By a federal commission
A law banning expressions of love
And every February there’s a
Crackdown on the very sacred day
We set aside for this cause

I guess we’d have to give up all the comfort
Of living in the status quo
I guess we’d lose our prominent social status
And who knows where we’d have to go

If it was a crime
To celebrate Valentines
Well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy
I’d have to check if you were wearing a wire
If it was a crime
To celebrate Valentines
We’d be just like Bonnie and Clyde
Hunted down and shot 500 times

I hope there’s no one out there with intentions to start
Breaking every future politicians heart
So they all get elected
And mess it all up
Infringing on all our expressions of love

So when I bring home chocolates
And give you a kiss
Remember they could someday soon go and outlaw this

But if it was a crime
To celebrate valentines
Well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy
My bouquet would make me a pariah

If it was a crime
To celebrate Valentines
I would fail to comply
I would fail to comply
