Crime Pays Lyrics - Hall & Oates

I know you know all the pros and cons 

They help you get to everything you want 

Greasing policemen bending all the rules 

Make them an offer that they can't refuse 

One crime, baby, I can't forgive 

The kind that hurts where I live 

I'm a nice guy, I try to wait and see 

If you'll get caught or go free a 

You stole my heart and left me blue 

It look like crime pays for you 

You do it and you get away 

It seem like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

Beat the heat no you couldn't pay me off 

You're staying cool no matter what it costs 

You get caught, you'll never do the time 

Ooh, I have to say you got a way 

With one crime, baby, I can't forgive 

The kind that hurts where I live 

It's all too clear but I still don't see 

Why all the guilty go free 

You stole my heart and left me blue 

It look like crime pays for you 

You do it and you get away 

It seem like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

It seems like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

Catch a thief and let her go 

You won't get back the love she stole 

Ooh, shake her down but she don't mind 

'Cause she commit the perfect crime okay, okay 

You know, I know you're a pro and con artiste 

Oh baby, you're a false alarm 

Why do I try to play it by the rules 

I was the victim but I'm not a fool 

You stole my heart and left me blue 

It look like crime pays for you 

You do it and you get away 

It seems like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

It seem like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

It seem like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

It seem like crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

Ooh 

(Crime pays) 

Crime pays 

(Crime pays) 

You stole my heart, yeah 

(Crime pays) 

Ooh, ooh 

(Crime pays) 

(You're gonna get away) 

Get away bad 

(You're gonna get away) 

Crime pays 

(You're gonna get away) 

Get away bad 

(You're gonna get away) 

Crime pays 

(You're gonna get away) 

Get away bad 

(You're gonna get away) 

Crime pays for you, you do me wrong girl 

(You're gonna get away) 

Get away bad 

(You're gonna get away) 

Crime pays 

(You're gonna get away) 

You stole my heart and left me blue 

(You're gonna get away) 

It look like crime pays for you 

(You're gonna get away) 

You do it and you get away 

(You're gonna get away) 

It seem like crime pays
