There oughta be a law against breaking peoples' hearts
There oughta be a law against tearin' them apart
There oughta be a law against makin' people cry
There ought be some kind of law and I will tell you why

Take my heart and run away
Leave me longin' all the day
I do the work, you do the play
And that's just not the way

There oughta be a law against cruelty to love
Then you would have to change your ways,
Or you'd get thirty days

Mickey
Yes, Sylvia
I want to introduce a new law
Oh really?
Uh huh
Just what kind of new law?
Well, I think

There oughta be a law against driving me insane
There oughta be a law against loving you in vain
Then I'd be guilty, and you'd be too
They'd lock us up together, just us two
There oughta be a law to say that I must be with you
