Put The Law On You Lyrics

Do I have to put the law on you baby for all the wicked things you do?
Am I gonna have to put the law on you baby?
That was not what I wanted to do.
Do I have to put the law on you baby to try
And make you come out clean for every evil deed?
You're just about the lowest and the dirtiest thing I've ever seen.
Did you really think you could pull it off, the perfect crime, crime of the heart?
Do you really think that you'll get away, do the crime and never pay?
Do I have to put the law on you baby
Lock you up and throw away the key
For the countless counts of low down double-cross you've been about?
Have you no decency?
Did you really think you could pull it off, the perfect crime, crime of the heart?
Do you really think that you'll get away, escape my justice until you're dying day?
Though you made it clear from the very start
There was no trusting you with my foolish heart.
Though you maybe made it clear that didn't make it right.
Do you really think you'll get away?
You can't escape my justice 'til my dying day.
