I'm the law and you can't beat the law What we're dealing with here is a total lack of respect for the law I'm the law and you can't beat the law (Note) Fuck 'em and their law Crack down at sundown Fuck 'em and their law

Keep moving your heels on the floor Let the bartender pour you up another round Tip the cover band, find another hand To dance and call him your rebound Another late night love, another last call crush With the neon shining down Girl, this time around,

Higher, higher ground Everything I've lost, casts a shadow I'm never coming down, never coming down 'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes I'm trying not to hold on I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground And everything I love, walks away from me

It's a mistake, it's a mistake Jump down the shelters to get away The boys are cockin' up their guns Tell us general, is it party time? If it is can we all come Don't think that we don't know Don't think that we're not trying Don't think we move too slow

If I ever left this town If I wasn't by your side I'm your girl and you're my man And we're makin' plans I'd never settle down I'd just be wanderin' around I'd never be satisfied Nothin' would feel just right Cause I'm not easy to understand

On down the road What I want And she knows What I'm not And I got one mile to go What she wants

See you when I see you Another place, some other time If I ever get down your way We'll laugh about the old days Or you're ever up around mine And catch up on the new Yeah I'll see you when I see you And I hope it's some day soon Let's don't say goodbye

If you find a new look now Would you kick the old one out? Right now, right now Watchu' gonna do when the sun goes down? Who you gonna love when I'm not around? And I ain't tryna play the victim But I got my suspicions Sayin' you're alone

Stop turning your back on me Don't you see it You can rely on me You're letting us down again It's come the hard way Don't you see Your heart's not in it babe Come on admit it Every time someone passes by

Let down your guard And show me your colors Don't fight it anymore Show me you're with me Open your arms I'm not like the others So don't fight it anymore no What will it take for me to make you see? I'm not your enemy
