Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Criminal

Look at me

High upon the hill

You could say

I'm on top of the world

Baby - I'm blue

All because of you

I can see this city

Crumble all around me

Press me to your chest

Block out the view

Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me

Some kind of criminal

You put me out-law

Because I loved you

In my time

One thing I've learned

If you play with fire

You get burned

Oh, baby, it's true

I got burned by you

I put everything I had

Into a bag

And trusted you to do

What you didn't do

Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me

Some kind of criminal

You put me out-law

Because l loved you

The first thing I think when I wake up

When can I see you?

The last thing I think when I'm drifting off

When will I see you?

Oh. look at me

I'm addicted still

At first I refused,

Now I just swallow the pill

Oh, baby, won't you

Fix me like you used to?

I could spend my time in hell

I might as well

Cause hell is where I'm bound to dwell

Without you

Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me

Some kind of criminal

You put me out-law

Because I loved you
