She let me off with a warning

She didn't take me in

She let me go with a warning

She said "Don't do that again!"



I was stopped

I was stopped

I was stopped by a lady cop. I turned the wrong way...

I couldn't touch my nose with my eyes closed

I was at a loss for words to say to her to make her see

It's not the brew that made me such a grinning fool

It was her personality

She left me standing on one leg when she drove away

I'm not a stork I'm not a tipsy dork

But I don't even have a clue which way is up, which way is down

I wish she'd come back and fill a ticket out

And I would tell her "please...



Take me in -- Let me be with you again

Do I have to lead a life of crime

To see you one more time



Please take me to the station. Don't leave me standing here

I might do somethin' rash. I might cause a crash

I'm not responsible for things I might do to be with you

Come back frisk me, read me my rights

Just don't sentence me to lonely nights



Take me in -- Let me be with you again

Do I have to lead a life of crime

To see you one more time



Take me in, slap me on the wrist

Excuse me if I stare at your star

Oh how happy I would be if you would put the cuffs on me

And throw me in the back of your car



She let me off with a warning

She said don't do that again



Take me in -- Let me be with you again

Do I have to lead a life of crime

To see you one more time
