Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreamed I was arrested
Charged with a crime
I've got to plead innocent
'Cause darling, you're not mine
[Verse 2]
Oh why?
Why should it happen to me?
Well, I'm fine with it
Have mercy on me
[Verse 3]
The policeman said, "Maybe
The judge, he can agree"
The jury keep on guessing
But the DA says it's me
[Verse 4]
Oh why?
Why should it happen to me?
Well, I'm fine with it
Have mercy on me
[Verse 5]
The lawyer said, "Plead guilty
And try to cop a plea"
But why should I plead guilty
When you don't belongs to me?
[Verse 6]
Oh why?
Why should it happen to me?
Well, I'm fine with it
Have mercy on me
[Verse 7]
The policeman said, "Maybe
The judge, he can agree"
The jury keep on guessing
But the DA says it's me
[Verse 8]
Oh why?
Why should it happen to me?
Well, I'm fine with it
Have mercy on me
