BRICK & LACE - Mr. Officer lyrics

rate me

Ma'am I'm sorry to bother you today

But I'm looking for a boy named Ray

You know I got a warrant for his arrest

And they told me this is where he stay

verse

But Mr. Officer did you kno?

That is my baby you arresting, uh

Your taking him away, what did he do?

I think your making such a mistake.

Mr. officer what's going on?

He said he threw that old life away, yea

So who you thinking of, you must be wrong

I kno my baby he's a good man. yea

chorus

And I know you don't know my name

And I know you don't owe me anything

But I'm begging you all the same, yea yea

So please, no

Dontcha take my baby

Not away, no

I'll do anything to make him stay, so

Won't you let him go

DOnt you know you cutting off my life line.

Yes Ma'am what can I do for you today?

Pled your case what do you have to say?

It's not my fault your man messed up just to tell ya

Better take it up a with the jury

verse

But Mr.Officer please understand

This is my third time at your precinct.

And all you giving me is the run around

Your only testing my patience

What will I do when the lights are turned off

My rent is due and my bills are backing up

so mr. officer don't prosecute

I'm telling you that he's a good you yea... oh oh

chorus

See I really don't your name

And I know you don't owe me anything

But I'm begging you all the same

wont you see it my way,yea

So please, no

Dontcha take my baby

Not away, no

I'll do anything to make him stay, so

Won't you let him go

dont you know you cutting off my life line.

verse

Oh me, oh my

Said I just don't know why

And now my babys gone it's like me just wan fi cry

Even if he did the run

Yes me still I go deny

So when they throw me pon the stand

Sit around and watch me i go lie

To the lawyer to the judge

Make a blessing for my pastor

Should'nt neva kept my baby daddy, call me nafta

Hold me ay go home, hold me I go face mi dadda

begging you a blind mr. officer

So please, no

Dontcha take my baby

Not away, no

I'll do anything to make him stay, so

Won't you let him go

dont you know you cutting off my life line.
