And the cars drive by just so they could see her
(Officer)
But for some odd reason, they calling you a painting
(Officer)
If I had a pistol, I'd brandish it and wave it
Then that means one of us
(Gonna end up in the papers, yeah)
She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
Say Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher
She's gonna testify on my behalf down at the navy
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
They say that a wild man is defending his lady
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
I'll never leave her side, 'cause today can be dangerous
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us
Then that means one of us
Helicopters and cameras are shooting for the station
Got a stick in a bottle, I pretend I got a razor
(Gonna end up in the papers)
Then that means one of us
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
And when the night arrives the light hit her features
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
(Officer)
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
(Officer)
(Officer)
And everywhere I go, people hand me quarters
Gonna end up in a stretcher say
And they pat me on the back, they treat me like I'm famous
Say Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
So I can get some peace and provide for my babies
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
And she never bats an eye, when someone takes her picture
(Officer)
Then that means one of us
Mr.Officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us
