Natalie Merchant Lyrics
Put The Law On You
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.
