[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 your crime and never never pay?

[Verse 2]
Do I have to put the law on you, baby?
Lock you up and throw away the key
For the countless counts of lowdown double-cross you've been about
Have you no, no decency?

[Chorus]
Do you really think that you could pull it off?
The perfect crime, crime of the heart
Did you really think that you'll get away?
Escape my justice until your dying day?
[Outro]
Though you made it clear from the very start
There was no trusting you with my foolish heart
Though you maybe made it clear that didn't make it right
Do you really think you'll get away?
You can't escape my justice till my dying day
