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 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 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 We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side I look at your life and your style I wanted nothing more 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 Walking the line you were a marksman Told me that love like wine is ageless Public defender You had, to admit you wanted, the love of a sex offender 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 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 perpatrate love with you And when I get out there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you

On your own, far away from home There doesn't seem to be a friend when you're alone People stare, you wonder if they care So, you turn your back on someone with love to spare Try to see, it's gotta be Lovin' one another is the only possibility So, when you're down and losin' ground Don't get to thinkin' love can't be found
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you
Hey, you! It's nothin' new Love will be around no matter what you do Or will you try every alibi and fool yourself some more then wonder why So try to see, it's gotta be When you turn your back on love, you miss the opportunity And once again, you're at a dead end And nowhere to turn without a friend
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you
