Partner In Crime Lyrics

Billy Joel was right

We didn't start the fire, it was me

I'm a thief and I'm a liar in the first degree

It's a case of Crime and Punishment

Dostoevsky

Don't need an indictment when the guilt imprisons me

Cause my partner in crime, I betrayed you

I know you didn't see it coming

My partner in crime, I could have saved you

Instead I pulled the plug and then I fled the scene

Oh, Oo

I hopped the fence after I struck the match

Threw a wrench in our big plans

You watched me run from the window

Once my accomplice, now my foe

The sirens follow everywhere I go

Cause my partner in crime, I betrayed you

I know you didn't see it coming

My partner in crime, I could have saved you

Instead I pulled the plug and then I fled the scene

Oh, Oo

This was a crime of no passion

Couldn't return the love that you gave

And it gives me no satisfaction

That I didn't, I couldn't tell you to your face

My partner in crime, I betrayed you

I know you didn't see it coming

Partner in crime, I could have saved you

Instead I pulled the plug, and then I fled the scene

I'm sorry

I'm sorry
