Lyrics

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled - I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with..
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style..
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender..
You had to admit you wanted the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there with your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
