Jeep’s parked on a dead end street
Cop creeping up must be lonely
Don’t the bullied become bullies
But we aint botherin’ no one -
Thought we were out of sight
Now we’re dancing in their (spot)lights
I know this ring is too tight
But force it on, we’re gonna act like you’re my wife
Who/I knows bow we got here
(But) we’re here right or wrong.
If desire’s just fear
I fear my desire’s just too strong
* I’d rather die smiling
Than lying bout what I want
Lying about what I’ve done
(I feel my desires coming on, I’d rather be crucified)
Don’t matter where I found that ring
Just pull up your god damn stockings
Grab some napkins from the glove compartment
& Darlin, I’m gonna do the talking
Good night officer
What’s the problem here?
No she’s not sir
That’s my wife & we’re celebrating 20 years
She said she’s feeling old, so I I tried something from our youth
Now I’d just like to take her home, officer, if that’s ok with you
Can’t believe he had no clue
I figured he had to remember you
But, since I already paid you
How bout we do what we came to
That cop aint coming back
So don’t look at me like that
& you’re tougher than you act / I hate to see you sad
Climb up here on daddy’s lap
Dance on daddy’s lap
