Lyrics:
We're the judge and the jury
The hangman, the convict
It's too late for fury
Our indictment was handpicked
So step up to the gallows
And accept your sentence
For being so shallow
You must pay your penance
And oh we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
And oh we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
I'm gonna leave you, baby
Before I commit a crime
I'm gonna leave you, baby
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
But woman, it was just not my time
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You're 'bout the evilest woman
That I ever seen
Yeah, I'm gonna leave you, baby
Yeah, before I commit a crime
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Before I commit a crime
Yeah, you tried so hard to kill me
But woman, it was not, it was not my time
Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
And eight million people
Distant noises
Other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
So many dead
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
In my eyes
Even if you are wrong, you are right
Even if there is a terrible crime
It's alright, 'cause I got your back, and I know you got mine
I belong to the church of your name
Sing a song, 'cause I worship the ground you walk on
If I pray for you, I know you'll be there
You gon' make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
In my bed I believe every word that you've said
Just a kiss and you make me forget
All the bad, the battles we lost, the bodies we hid
You don't know, just how far I'd be willing to go
You put the cracks into my moral code
So you can count on me to always be there
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
Oh, Lord, forgive my weary hands
And for what they may do
I'll carry out his evil plans
If he wants me to
In your dream, you're drowning, I just waltzed in and saved you
I'm your alternate escape route, the altar you pray to
Your ultimate savior, your behavior is altered
Ain't your fault 'cause I made you
Brainwashed and persuade you
Gibraltar, you're faithful, never falter or waver
When you causing the danger I'm your guardian angel
Nobody can tell you shit, you've already made your
Mind just follow me, babe, you
Won't be sorry you stayed, you
Always ride, whatever the plan is
To the end, even if I led us into an ambush
Even if we robbed the First National and cops caught us redhanded
They're coming at us, and we're trapped, put our backs up
Against the wall, and it's too tall
You catapult me or hold the ladder for me
Stay back to get captured, take the fall
You make it all worth it
Baby doll, you're perfect the way you are
Accidents happen
All I know is you love me, that's really all that matters
And any who cross our paths are just collateral damage
At your side, got your lateral, back, your front, diagonal Backwards, blackbirds, we attack like animals
When they threaten what we have it's a natural reaction
You lay a bitch flat on her back in a second flat for me
Who tries to take your man from you
It's blasphemy, another casualty, you'll go whatever route
Whatever you have to do, you blast for me
I never doubt
That you
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You gon' make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
It was a drive-by Sunday night
Most of us were in bed all right
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens
Interrupt the silence
Is this what you wished to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished
To commit a crime, commit a crime
Commit a crime?
Girls on the beaches commit a sin
They don't show yards and yards of skin
Preceding message to you has been
Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce
Maybe your yen is for tennis courts
Maybe romancing is in your thoughts
Enjoy all outdoor and indoor sports
Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce
Any male in Fort Lauderdale who is not pursuing a cute female
Will automatically land in jail
That's the law in Fort Lauderdale
Pretty girls eighteen to twenty-three
If their technique ain't what it should be
Get love instruction for free from me
Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce
Somebody to love again
A supermarket of salvation
Take a look inside the store
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more
Holy father, holy ghost
Who's the one who hurts you most
Rock the cradle when you cry
Scream another lullaby
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Take the money, get out quick
Slow and steady, so much time
To commit another TV crime, TV crime
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
It's a 1, 2, 3 on the felony
Well not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
What lies behind your back
Not a burgler or a bankrobber
Just a kleptomaniac
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
Oh now you gotta do the time
Well now you gotta do some time Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
It's a 1, 2, 3 on the felony
Well not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
Oh now you gotta do the time
Well now you gotta do some time
I'm on my knees
But it seems we're going
Nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate? Oh
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
It's a one two three on the felony
Well, not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But it isn't called stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
What lies behind your back
Not a burglar or a bank robber
Just a kleptomaniac
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But Jimmy caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're gettin' burned
And now you gotta do the time

Climax
Hey fat daddy make up your mind
'Cause I've been waiting such a long, long time
Now baby or never 'cause I been so good to you
Now baby or never 'cause I've been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never if I mean anything to you
Now baby or never 'cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never 'cause you can't make up your mind
Now baby or never and it ain't no fault of mine
It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't fall
In love with me
Gonna call you once more on the telephone
I'll give you till twelve then I'll be gone
Now baby or never 'cause I been so good to you
Now baby or never 'cause I've been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never if I mean anything to you
Now baby or never 'cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never 'cause you can't make up your mind
Now baby or never and it ain't no fault of mine

You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't fall
In love with me
I waited last night for you to call
You give me no consideration at all
It's now baby or never 'cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never and you must make up your mind
Now baby or never and it ain't no fault of mine
It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't
You do baby or don't
Either you will baby or won't fall in love with me
It's funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?
Oh, it's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends (it never ends)
And funny how I blind myself
I never knew
I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
Oh, I'd tell myself
What good do you do
Convince myself
Oh, it's my life
Don't you forget
Oh, it's my life
It never ends (it never ends)
And I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?
It's funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
And funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself what good do you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

a little bit
It will all be over soon
I'm out of options, stop it, aye
Might commit murder for profit
Pastor just told me I'm toxic
I don't need help, I need options
I'm out of options, stop it, aye
Might commit murder for profit
Pastor just told me I'm toxic
I don't need help, I need options
I'm out of options, stop it, aye
Might commit murder for profit
Pastor just told me I'm toxic
I don't need help, I need options
I'm out of options, stop it, aye
Might commit murder for profit
Pastor just told me I'm toxic
I don't need help, I need options
Forget it, all these bad bitches always unapologetic
Is it bad that, I never made love, no I never did it
But I sure know how to fuck I'll be your
Bad girl, I'll prove it to you
Can't promise that, I'll be good to you
'Cause I had some issues, I won't commit, no not having it
But at least I can admit that I'll be bad no to you (to you)
Yeah, I'll be good in bed, but I'll be bad to you (bad to you)
My Lucifer is lonely
Standing there, killing time
Can't commit to anything but a crime
Peter's on vacation, an open invitation
Animals, evidence
Pearly gates look more like a picket fence
Once you get inside 'em
Got friends but can't invite them
Hills burn in California
My turn to ignore ya
Don't say I didn't warn ya
All the good girls go to hell
'Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven's out of sight
She'll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
Look at you needing me
You know I'm not your friend without some greenery
Walk in wearing fetters
Peter should know better
Your cover up is caving in
Man is such a fool
Why are we saving him?
I'm leavin' you woman....before i commit some crime
I'm leavin' you woman....before i commit a crime
You the evilest woman....i think ever crossed my mind
You put poison in my coffee....instead of milk or cream
You poison my coffee....in with that milk and cream
You're the meanest woman....i think i've most ever seen
You mix my drink....with a can of red devil lye
You mix my drink....with a can of red devil lye
Then you sit right down....watchin' me....hopin' i might die
You better be watchin' me baby....baby it was not my time
You better be watchin' me baby....just might be your time
There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes
When she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress
And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile
It doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire
Yeah, yeah, yeah all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll have to get use to
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak
You bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie, that's love
Well it's the very same thing that she does for you
When she doesn't bring up the fifteen pounds that you need to lose
And every time she runs her fingers through your hair
And she says she kinda likes the way there's not as much of it there
Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so she bends the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you have to get use to
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak
You bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie, that's love
Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll both gonna do
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
You say I like it when your momma comes to visit us
That's not a lie, that's not a lie, that's love
Straight up, you're bugging me
Why won't you leave me ass alone?
You refuse to quit (uh-huh)
Can't seem to commit (uh-huh)
So sick of your shit
Ooh
And I get that you want me bad
You ain't gotta explain all that
I know, I know
Something that you never had
So good it makes you mad
I know, I know
You refuse to quit (uh-huh)
Can't seem to commit (uh-huh)
So sick of your shit
My time is precious, don't waste it
I don't do maybe
Don't love me just to lead me on
I don't do maybe
If I ain't the one, then, bitch, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone
So long, so long, so long
(I don't do maybe) I don't do maybe
(I don't do maybe) Don't love me just to lead me on
Make me your baby (make me your baby)
If I ain't the one, then, bitch, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone
So long, so long, so long
Watch how you talk to me
I see you're lying through your teeth
'Cause when you're under me
Don't make a promise you can't keep
You refuse to quit (uh-huh)
Can't seem to commit (uh-huh)
So sick of your shit
Ooh
I get that you want me bad
You ain't gotta explain all that
I know, I know
Something that you never had
So good it makes you mad
I know, I know
You refuse to quit (uh-huh)
Can't seem to commit (uh-huh)
So sick of your shit
My time is precious, don't waste it
I don't do maybe (hey)
Don't love me just to lead me on
I don't do maybe (woo)
If I ain't the one, then, bitch, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone
So long, so long, so long (so long)
(I don't do maybe) I don't do maybe
(I don't do maybe, ooh) Don't love me just to lead me on
Make me your baby (make me your baby)
If I ain't the one, then, bitch, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone
So long, so long, so long (so long)
I don't do maybe
I don't do maybe
I don't do maybe
Make me your baby
I don't do maybe
I'm gonna leave you woman
Before I commit a crime
I'm gonna leave you woman
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
Woman it just was not my time
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You're the meanest woman
That I ever seen
You mixed my drinks
With a can of red devil lye
You mixed my drinks
With a can of red devil lye
Then you sit back and watch me
Hopin that I would die
Where is the justice
To this ya conflict
Upon my shoulders lie the burden to be free
I've got to run and hide
Though I've got an alibi
Someone to testify that I did not commit this crime no!
CHORUS
Want to see me dressed in chains
Lord God knows that I've been framed
Old time saying back again
Who feels it know it Lord.....
I thought I knew you
Tought that I knew you well
We had a rhythm
But I guess you never can tell
Oh I learned early
Never to ignore the signs
You'll be forgiven
It ain't worth that much to my mind
Lovin' you (was) so easy
It's hard to say goodbye
But if it's the way it goes it goes
[Chorus]
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled
Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5
It takes conviction it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene
But when I've been dissed
I don't spend much time on what might've been
I'm not about self-pity
Your love did me wrong
So I'm movin', movin' on
[Chorus]
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled
