X Offender lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell

And in the trial, you were there

With your badge and rubber boots

[Outro]

I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you

And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
