The woman that I love Is forty feet tall She's a movie star She's all in the papers And everywhere I go People hand me quarters And they pat me on the back They treat me like I'm famous I'll never leave her side 'Cause today can be dangerous And when the night arrives The light hits her features And the cars drive by Just so they could see her And she never bats an eye When someone takes her picture
Mr. Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher, say Mr. Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher, say
Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah
If I had a pistol I'd brandish it and wave it She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy She's gonna testify on my behalf down at the Navy So I can get some peace And provide for my babies I got a stick and a bottle I'll pretend I got a razor Helicopters and cameras all shootin' for the station They say that a wild man defending his lady But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting
Mr. Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher say
Mr. Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher say
