The woman that I love Is forty feet tall, She's a movie star, She's all in the papers And everywhere I go People hand me quarters And they pat me on the back, They treat me like I’m famous, I'll never leave her side 'Cause today can be dangerous And when the night arrives The light hit her features And the cars drive by Just so they could see her, And she never bats an eye When someone takes her picture
Mr. Officer, if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher, Gonna end up in the papers, Going end up in the papers, yeah
If I had a pistol, I'd brandish it and wave it, She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy, She's gonna testify on my behalf Down at the Navy, So I can get some peace And provide for my babies, I got a stick and a bottle, I'll pretend I got a razor, Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station, They say that a wild man defending his lady But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting
