BLONDIE - X Offender lyrics

rate me

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.

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...

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.

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side.

I look at your life and your style...

I wanted nothing more.

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.

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.

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.

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell.

And in the trial, you were there with your badge and rubber boots.

I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you.

And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you.
