The page contains the lyrics of the song "Why Do You Punish Me (For Loving You)" by Johnny Cash.

Lyrics

Why do you punish me for loving you?
You’re counting my mistakes, how about yours
Why do you sentence me, too nice of tears?
Convicting all these dreams, I’ve dreamed for all these years
My heart cries out behind these prison bars
It pleads to you for your true love to set it free
Why do you punish me is love a crime?
If so I’ll spend the lifetime, loving, serving time
My heart cries out behind these prison bars
It pleads to you for your true love to set it free
Why do you punish me is love a crime?
If so I’ll spend the lifetime, loving, serving time
