She let me off with a warning
She didn't take me in
She let me go with a warning
She said "Don't do that again!"

I was stopped
I was stopped
I was stopped by a lady cop I turned the wrong way
I couldn't touch my nose with my eyes closed
I was at a loss for words to say to her to make her see
It's not the brew that made me such a grinning fool
It was her personality
She left me standing on one leg when she drove away
I'm not a stork I'm not a tipsy dork
But I don't even have a clue which way is up, which way is down
I wish she'd come back and fill a ticket out
And I would tell her "please

Take me in -- Let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time

Please take me to the station Don't leave me standing here
I might do somethin' rash I might cause a crash
I'm not responsible for things I might do to be with you
Come back frisk me, read me my rights
Just don't sentence me to lonely nights

Take me in -- Let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time

Take me in, slap me on the wrist
Excuse me if I stare at your star
Oh how happy I would be if you would put the cuffs on me
And throw me in the back of your car

She let me off with a warning
She said don't do that again

Take me in -- Let me be with you again
Do I have to lead a life of crime
To see you one more time
