Suzie's Lament (I Broke the Law)

from Tales of Addictive Games and Exotic Pets by Kerry JK

/

lyrics

I could never love another the way that I loved you
Even after all the sadness you put me through
If I hadn't have been so deep in love
I'd never have known just what I was capable of
Now look at what you made me do.

I broke the law today for the first time
I broke the law today for the very first time
I saw your head in between her thighs
Then I saw a breadknife between her eyes
I broke the law today for the first time

I broke the law today for the first time
I broke the law today for the very first time
Such a cute body, such a pretty face
I left them on a shelf in your trophy case
I broke the law today for the first time

And now the K.S.P. are gonna come for me
Oh, honey, can't you see, they'll never leave me be
Every day I'm gonna cry and pray
Oh, why did it have to be this way?

I broke the law today for the first time
I broke the law today for the very first time
I'm not a bad person, you know I'm not
But when it comes to love, you're all I've got
I broke the law today for the first time

Now the national press will come to our address
While the D.O.C. are taking care of me
Tooth and nail they're gonna drag me to jail
And they'll leave me all alone with my misery

I broke the law today for the first time
I broke the law today for the very first time
I'll always love you, Darling, you know it's true
Even though you ripped my heart in two
I broke the law today for the first, and second, time.
