Lady Cop / Take Me In
The Bobs
She let me off with a warning
She didn’t take me in
She let me go with a warning
Said, “Don’t do that again”
She let me off with a warning
She didn’t take me in
She let me go with a warning
I was stopped, I was stopped
I was stopped by a lady cop, I turned the wrong way
I couldn’t touch my nose with my eyes closed
And I was at a loss for words to say to her
To make her see, it’s not the brew that made me
Such a grinning fool, it was her personality
She left me standing on one leg when she drove away
No, I’m not a stork and I’m not a tipsy dork
But I don’t even have a clue which way is up
Which way is down
I wish she’d come back and fill a ticket out
And I would tell her, “Please
Take me in, let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time?”
She let me off with a warning
She didn’t take me in
She let me go with a warning
Please take me to the station, don’t leave me standing here
Well, I might do something rash, like cause a crash
I’m not responsible for things I might do to be with you
Come back, frisk me, read me my rights
Just don’t sentence me to lonely nights
Take me in, let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time?
Take me in, slap me on the wrist
Excuse me if I stare at your star
Oh, how happy I would be if you would put the cuffs on me
And throw me in the back of your car
She let me off with a warning
Don’t do that again
Take me in, let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time?
Take me in, let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time?
She let me off with a warning
Some of the best lyrics ever.
Great song. Here’s another.....
Cagey Bea by Junior Brown
She’s a real Russian beauty
Balalaika totin’ cutie
She’s a whole lotta fun on a date
And she’s an undercover agent
and I’m just another fool
she is tryin’ to investigate
Her name is double agent
Beatrix Knock’em off the third
and she’s a threat to national security
in the undercover world
she’s a pretty cagey girl
that’s why they call her Cagey Bea
Cagey Bea, Cagey Bea
cageyist babushka in the land of the free
getting secrets undercover
from so many others
but she’s only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.
I met a gal the other day
in a strange sort of way
takin’ pictures of my house from her car
she said she was a tourist
but she seemed more adventurist
than just a girl from the USSR
she was handing out the borscht
so I jumped right in her porsche
and felt a wire going right up my sleeve
by the time we started kissing
half of Moscow was listening
to the prisoner of Cagey Bea
Cagey Bea, Cagey Bea
why’d you go and play them dirty tricks on me
getting secrets undercover
from so many others
but your only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.
she’s got a sexy looking hemline
and them boys back at the Kremline
keep an eye on her every step
but my love will never stop
for that cagey Russian cop
and I am needing all the loving I can get
but I ain’t walking down the aisle
till she throws away my file
and gets those surveillance cameras off of me
I ain’t wearing that corsage
till there’s no more espionage
from double agent Cagey Bea
Cagey Bea, Cagey Bea
cageyist babushka in the land of the free
getting secrets undercover
from so many others
but she’s only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.
No she’s only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.
