They Could Put Me In Jail    (1981)

Oh, there you are, all alone at the bar
Heaven knows you're something to see
And so I say hi, try out my best lie
You cross your long legs and smile back at me

Oh, you say I'm nice, you say I'm sweet
Well baby I must have you fooled
'Cause I know damn well they could put me in jail
For what I been thinkin' 'bout you

I could get twenty years for what's goin' on here
Honey, right inside of my head
If society knew what I'm doing to you
I'm sure they'd make me pay my debt

Any jury would find it's a terrible crime
They'd do what they had to do
Yeah, I know damn well they could put me in jail
For what I been thinkin' 'bout you

I say, 'Tell me love, do you come in here much'
You say, 'Oh from time to time'
Yeah, I'm talking to you but while I do
A whole lot of things are going on in my mind

Oh, I try to hide what I'm thinking inside
'Cause if anybody ever knew
Yeah, I know damn well they could put me jail
For what I been thinkin' 'bout you

I could get twenty years for what's goin' on here
Honey, right inside of my head
If society knew what I'm doing to you
I'm sure they'd make me pay my debt

Any jury would find it's a terrible crime
They'd do what they had to do
Yeah, I know damn well they could put me in jail
For what I been thinkin' 'bout you

Yeah, I know damn well they could put me jail
For what I been thinkin' 'bout you
