What did you say to my girl now hey now
 You've got her talking that way don't you play now
What did you do to my girl now hey now
You got her rocking your way 
Why'd you go and run away with our mother

The word gets around our dad's a cop in this town there will be trouble tonight
He's on the case for lost love, some law's you just don't break he loves her
Stories travel fast quick love will never last they're forty year lovers
He's going under cover always get his man
Don't you try to run away hey hey
With my mother

You better leave

If you want to be safe now you better leave
You got to get out of this place you better leave
It's to late to surrender you better leave
The hound dog sent to kill you

The word gets around our dads a cop in this town there will be trouble tonight
He's on the case for lost love a lost love some laws you just don't break he loves her

Forty years she lied for the kids.

For forty long years 
La la la lala

The word gets around our dads a cop in this crazy town there will be trouble tonight
