Undercover cop car

came screeching to a halt

body lying on the ground

must be someone's fault

circumstantial evidence

seemed to point her way

her right to remain silent

was all she heard them say



Blue dress, blue eyes

blonde hair, about five foot nine

wrong place, wrong time

wrong face, wrong crime



(Chorus):

Mistaken identity

could happen to you or to me

mistaken identity

mistaken identity

could happen to you or to me

mistaken identity

mistaken identity...



(I didn't do it, no, I didn't do it)



No money for a lawyer

to defend her case

satnding in the line up

tears rolling down her face



No one cared to listen

someone had to take the heat

sometimes there's no justice

when you're the victim of the street



Wrong place, wrong time

wrong face, wrong crime (x 4)



(chorus)

Tu ut tu tu tu...tu ut tu tu tu



They didn't even say

I'm sorry

tried to put her away

in a hurry



Don't make her pay the price

she's no guilty

(guilty)

for someone else's crime

set her free

(set her free)



I didn't...

I didn't...

I didn't do it...no (x 4)



(Chorus out)
