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
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?
And  did you really think  that you'll get away,  do the crime and  ne-ever  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  ... 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.
