Oh the lady in red
Well she's driving me mad
Her very first offense
Was just looking at me
But that second glance was a felony
Oh the lady's so fine
But I think it's a crime
She's just too much for a man like me
They'd better lock her away
And throw out the key
Chorus:
There oughta be a law
Against a girl like you
Oughta be a law
Against the things you do
Oughta be a law
For breaking hearts in two
There oughta be a law
Against a girl like you
Oh the lady is cool
And she's breaking the rules
If only looks could kill
She'd be killing me
Guilty, murder one
In the first degree
Oh the lady's unkind
She's got me doin' time
She's just too much for a man like me
They'd better lock her away
And throw out the key
(Chorus)
Y'know, I'm gonna take ya downtown
Strip ya down and throw it in the slammer, baby
I'm gonna throw the book at you, girl
Stick 'em up!
(Chorus)
