Hall & Oates - "Crime Pays" lyrics

Music: Hall Lyrics: Hall/Oates/S. Allen I know you know all the pros and cons Greasing policemen bending all the rules They help you get to everything you want Make them an offer that they can't refuse One crime baby I can't forgive The kind that hurts where I live I'm a nice guy I try to wait and see If you'll get caught or go free You stole my heart and left me blue It look like crime pays for you It seem like crime pays Crime pays Beat the heat but you couldn't pay me off You do it and you get away You're staying cool no matter what it costs You get caught you'll never do the time I have to say you've got a way with one crime baby I can't forgive The kind that hurts where I live It's all too clear but I still don't see Why all the guilty go free It look like crime pays for you You stole my heart and left me blue It seems like crime pays You do it and you get away It seems like crime pays Crime pays Crime pays You won't get back the love she stole Catch a thief and let her go Shake her down but she don't mind You know I know you're a pro and con artiste 'Cause she commit the perfect crime OK, OK Oh baby you're a false alarm Why do I try to play it by the rules I was the victim but I'm not a fool You stole my heart and left me blue It looks like crime pays for you You do it and you get away It seems like crime pays
