Natalie Merchant – 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 dead
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
And 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
That you could pull it off
The perfect crime, crime of the heart
Did 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 in my foolish heart
Though you maybe made it clear that didn't make it right

Do you really really think you'll get away
You can't escape my justice 'til
My dying day.
