Crime Pays Lyrics

Music:Hall



 Lyrics:Hall/Oates/S. Allen



 



 I know you know all the pros and cons



 They help you get to everything you want



 Greasing policemen bending all the rules



 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



 You do it and you get away



 It seem like crime pays



 Crime pays



 



 Beat the heat but you couldn't pay me off



 You're staying cool no matter what it costs



 You get caught you'll never do the time



 I have to sayyou'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



 



 You stole my heart and left me blue



 It look like crime pays for you



 You do it and you get away



 It seems like crime pays



 Crime pays



 It seems like crime pays



 Crime pays



 



 Catch a thief and let her go



 You won't get back the love she stole



 Shake her down but she don't mind



 'Cause she commit the perfect crime OK, OK



 You know I know you're a pro and con artiste



 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
