Put The Law On You Lyrics - Natalie Merchant

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 

To try and 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 that you'll get away 

Do the crime and never ever pay? 

Do I have to put the law out 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?
