Doing a Crime

She left me on a corner somewhere

On an early Monday

Still broken and surprised and slightly hypnotised

somebody must’ve found me

I thought I was a made man, a real wise guy

But she busted me and saw I wasn’t worth her time

While Doing the crime

She took me to a wedding, though nothing seemed upsetting

I wasn’t part of the family.

She seemed to know just everybody

All 47 cousins

Every one of them named Tony

I thought I was a made man, a real wise guy

‘Till she busted me and saw I wasn’t worth her time

Doing a crime

Doing a crime

Doing a crime

Hey babe

I’m ashamed to even tell you

But I kinda wish you held me for ransom

Whilst doing the crime

After some gentle extortion

You told me I could go home

Anytime that I liked

But as soon as I left the building

I knew that I wasn’t alone, somebody followed from behind

Now I see how it all checked out

How I missed out from the start

How the drugs were planted, the stage was set

How you planned to break my heart

Doing a crime

Doing a crime

Doing a crime

Hey babe

I’m ashamed to even tell you

But I kinda wish you held me for ransom

Whilst doing the crime
