Blondie – X Offender lyrics

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 s** 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 s** offensive to you.
