officer & a gentleman

i was an optimist once

i scoured the streets to find tree lined parking spots

until and officer stopped

we argued a bit and then i finally understood

she said

'no matter what you say

even if you do

i don't really care

i'm not here to kill anybody's mood. no matter what you say

even if you do

i don't really care

i'm a lot like you everybody's rude.'

but now i am a criminal to be charged

with a heart that's far too large

to give to just anyone

what a messed up world this is

'cause you were an officers and i was a gentleman

and we played our parts so well

if there was a hurricane

we were the aftermath

and i'll leave you with this love

now all i did was bitch and moan

'cause nothings ever good enough for this buttercup

and when i sleep the sleep alone

i blame myself and again i'm never wrong

she said

'no matter what you say

even if you do

i don't really care

i'm not here to kill anybody's mood. no matter what you say

even if you do

i don't really care

i'm a lot like you everybody's rude.'

but now i am a criminal to be charged

with a heart that's far too large

to give to just anyone

what a messed up world this is

'cause you were an officers and i was a gentleman

and we played our parts so well

if there was a hurricane

we were the aftermath

and i'll leave you with this love

but now i am a criminal to be charged

with a heart that's far too large

to give to just anyone

what a messed up world this is

'cause you were an officers and i was a gentleman

and we played our parts so well

if there was a hurricane

we were the aftermath

and i'll leave you with this love
