I Stand Accused Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people say that I’ve become a fool
With ways and means of a man unschooled
If the river [?] the way I’m running after you
Then I stand accused

[Verse 2]
Hip hip hooray for sentimental clowns
Who twist and shout and are yet unbowed
Well if it’s not allowed to want you back again somehow
Then I stand accused

[Bridge]
If I choose to live my life
Loving you
It’s my right to

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, if I choose to live my life
Loving you
It’s my right to

[Verse 3]
All the winds will turn the tide
Caress the heart of a man gone wild
And if it’s sin or crime to go without you I should die
Then I stand accused

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
