Hall And Oates Crime Pays Lyrics

Crime Pays Lyrics

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 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 

  

 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
