X Offender Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[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]
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

[Verse 3]
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

Ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
