Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The woman that I love is forty feet tall
She's a movie star, she's all in the papers
And everywhere I go people hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back, they treat me like I'm famous
I never leave her side 'cause today can be dangerous
And when the night arrives, the light hits her features
And the cars drive by just so they can see her
And she never bats an eye when someone takes her picture
[Verse 2]
And, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say
[Verse 3]
Gon' end up in the paper
Gon' end up in the paper, yeah
[Verse 4]
If I had a pistol, I'd brandish it and wave it
She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
She's gonna testify on my behalf down at the navy
So I can get some peace and provide for my babies
Got a stick and bottle, I'll pretend I got a razor
Helicopters and cameras all shooting for the station
They say that a wild man defending his lady
But for some odd reason they calling you a painting
[Verse 5]
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say
[Verse 6]
Mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say, mister officer, if you come to take her
Then that means one of us gon' end up in a stretcher
Say
