Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
Policeman shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
Policeman shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
His arms were so close you could see the blood
Pulsing through both his wrists
Don't tell me the cops are right in a  wrong like this
'Cause a policeman shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
[Verse 2]
I was taught we must be grateful for the time that we are here
In the world
To accept that death beyond our heads and be bitter no more
But if you found your first joy in life in the arms of a man
Don't tell me you wouldn't curse the God that made your hands
When policeman shot your baby crossing right over your doorstep
[Verse 3]
Policeman shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
Policeman shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
His arms were so close you could see the blood
Pulsing through both his wrists
Don't tell me the cops are right in a wrong like this
'Cause a policeman shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
[Verse 4]
In my life, I never met a guy who was a better man
(So sad that she doesn't understand)
Oh, so gentle with his hand and with two feet on the ground
(Just as solid as he sounds)
[Verse 5]
And I felt my first joy in life with my head on his chest
Then his trouble came from looking out for all the rest
Policeman shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
[Verse 6]
Well I've tried so hard to be a peaceful loving woman
Oh, I believe that love and understanding were the way
Oh, but how many gone before you listen to the cries
With my dead heart how do I find my way
Through the truth and then the lies?
[Verse 7]
Policeman shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
Policeman shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
Policeman shot my, policeman shot my baby
As he crossed over my doorstep
Policeman shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
