Do I have to put the law on you baby

for all the wicked thing 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 to 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 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

Do you really think that you'll get away

Escape my justice until your 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

So you really think you'll get away

You can't escape my justice 'till my dying day
