[Intro]
I saw you standing on the corner
You looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you
So when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line

[Verse 1]
You read me my rights and then you said
"Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with

[Chorus]
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know, so I asked
You just had to laugh

[Verse 2]
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed
At my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more

[Chorus]
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know, so I asked
You just had to laugh

[Bridge]
Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender

[Chorus]
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know, so I asked
You just had to laugh

[Outro]
My vision in blue, I call you from
Inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there with
Your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to
Perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt
I'll be sex offensive to you

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
