Crime Pays

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 a

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 no you couldn't pay me off

You're staying cool no matter what it costs

You get caught, you'll never do the time

Ooh, I have to say you 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 seem 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

Ooh, shake her down but she don't mind

'Cause she commit the perfect crime okay, okay

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 look like crime pays for you

You do it and you get away

It seems like crime pays
