Brick & Lace Mr. Officer Lyrics

Mam, I'm sorry to bother you today,
But I'm looking for a waning way.
You know I got a warrant for his arrest
And they said this is where he stay.

Well Mr. Officer, did you know that it's my baby you arresting.
You taking him away, what did he do, I think you're making such a mistake.
Mr. Officer, what's going on, he said he threw that old life away.
So who you thinking of, you must be wrong, I know my baby, he's a good man.

And I know you don't know my name,
And I know you don't own me anything
But I'm begging you all the same yeah, yeah

So please no, don't you take my baby not away no
I'd do anything to make him stay, so wont you let him go
Don't you know you're cutting off my lifeline (x2)

Yes, mam what can I do for you today
Plead your case what do you have to say
(?)
You better take it up with the jury

Well Mr. Officer, please understand
This is my third time at your precinct
And all they're giving me is the run around
You're only testing my patience
What will I do when the lights are turned off
My rent is do and my bills are packing up
So Mr. Officer don't prosecute
I'm telling you that he's a good you yeah

Oh, oh

See I know you don't know my name,
And I know you don't own me anything
But I'm begging you all the same
Wont you see it my way, yeah, yeah

So please no, don't you take my baby not away no
I'd do anything to make him stay, so wont you let him go
Don't you know you're cutting off my lifeline (x2)

Oh me, oh my, said I just don't know why
And now my baby's gone is like me just want to cry
Even if he get the run yes me still I got the knife
So if the (?) understand, said I'ma watch me go alight
To the lawyer to the judge beg a blessing from me pastor
Should have never been my baby that they coming after
Homie I go home, homie I go face me doctor
Begging you apply, Mr. Officer

So please no, don't you take my baby not away no

Don't you know you're cutting off my lifeline (x3)
