Cops
Tangina Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I called the cops on you
And then they put you
In the padded room
See there was a time
When you made my heart go boom
And they're only happy only a game or two
I try to surprise you romance you
Drowning in the water feeling like
I'm in the deep blue sea
Hey, hey, the deep blue sea
Hey, hey, oh
Oho, you did a bad thing
Oho, you did a bad thing
You went, you went crazy baby
You did a bad thing
And I had to call them
To come save me baby
Shadows pave the street behind me
As I'm running through the wind
And I'm not sure which way I'm heading
Since you plunged into the deep end
Oho, you did a bad thing
Oho, you did a bad thing
You went, you went crazy baby
You did a bad thing
And I had to call them
To come save me baby
When you thought that I was cheating
I was being what you need then
And you say that was never enough
But I guess when you're crazy
It's never enough
Since you thought you could get violent
You're in a padded room of silence
And that's why I've called the cops yeah
Said that's why I've called the cops
I called the cops, I called the cops
I called the, I called the, I called the cops
I called the cops, I called the cops
I called the, I called the, I called the cops
Oho, you did a bad thing
Oho, you did a bad thing
You went, you went crazy baby
