No one knows how I trembled at night

When I was hiding in your wardrobe, I saw the bright light

Through the half open doors, all your sisters

With their stern faces looking like prime ministers

Breaking the law is no crime if you love me

So come on, baby, take my hand, together we will flee

On the tip tip toes through the back door of your house

You will be my lady bear and I will be your mouse

All the bad thoughts were flailing around

And cold sweat dripped on the floor

I heard a strange sound as if an old vinyl record was playing mono

'Twas a little mouse speaking up to me from the corner

"Listen, man, there is no get away from here

All the mice will be caught some day, let's be sincere

I was trembling like you years ago

Oh, now I am stuck here forever, but you can go"

Breaking the law is no crime if you love me

So come on, baby, take my hand, together we will flee

On the tip tip toes through the back door of your house

You will be my lady bear and I will be your mouse

I see me, oh, but now I bask on the beach with my beauty

Eating cakes and sipping wine is my only duty

All the mice will be caught somewhere

I don't care about such things 'cause I love you, my lady bear

Breaking the law is no crime if you love me

So come on, baby, take my hand, together we will flee

On the tip tip toes through the back door of your house

You will be my lady bear and I will be your mouse

Come on, baby, light my fire, whoa-oh-yeah

Oh, breaking the law is no crime if you love me

So come on, baby, come on, baby, take my hand

Together we will flee, yeah

Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay

You will be my lady bear and I will be your mouse
