[Verse 1]
You got away with murder
Got away taking the snow out of my winter
Got away biting off the hand that was feeding you
Got away leaving me on a church step as if I were two
But I really wouldn’t have stopped you
[Verse 2]
You got away with a gold rush fever
Got away almost like a real king killer
Got away like a so-so romantic adventure
Got away taking fool’s gold out of a fool’s soul
I gladly would have given it to you
[Bridge 1]
Just so cool
But not all lovers are losers
Can’t help thinking baby
You just did me the biggest favor
[Verse 3]
Got a way like a blind tiger
Got away now you can’t even catch a sick old lover
Got away with a one way ticket to Neptune
Got away with blood diamonds and fire pearls
I really wouldn’t have stopped you
[Bridge 2]
Since you’re gone I feel so lucky
I’m a compulsive gambler
Missing you, forgetting you
Giving you up like Barbados Dollars
You fell through a needle’s eye
I’m just sorry if anything
It wasn’t me who pushed you in
Better now, better now than never
[Verse 4]
You got away with murder
Got away taking the snow out of my winter
Got away biting off the hand that was feeding you
Got away leaving me on a church step as if I were two
But I really wouldn’t have stopped you
[Outro]
You got away with murder
Got away
You got away
You got away with murder
Got away
You got away
You got away with murder
Got away
You got away
