Lyrics Lisa Stansfield

Lisa Stansfield

Picket Fence

When I signed

On the dotted line

I didn't sign up for this

And when I swore

On the Holy Bible

It didn't mean shit to me

Because I fell in love with him

Up to my elbows

Up to my cheek

I knew the man was trouble

They gave me a shovel

And I digged him in

In my defense

I never wanted

No picket fence

And to obey

That's not the way

That's not the way

That's not the way

I rest my case

Better get in line

For an orange suit

Too much anger

And so much to lose

So now I'm swearing

On the Holy Bible

To tell the truth, the whole truth

And nothing but the truth

I fell in love with him

But see we both committed sin

Knew all along that he was trouble

He did, my friend, so I did him, man

In my defense

I never wanted

No picket fence

And to obey

That's not the way

That's not the way

That's not the way

I rest my case

Why I'm leavin my shoes

You see, I fell in love with him

And I took it all ...

I got myself in trouble

Time's abided double

And I'm not giving in

In my defense

I never wanted

No picket fence

And to obey

That's not the way

That's not the way

That's not the way

I rest my case
