Doorstep |
Policemen shot my baby as he crossed right over my doorstep |
Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep |
His arms were so close you could see the blood pulsing through both his wrists |
Don’t tell me the cops are right in a wrong like this |
'Cause policemen shot my baby as he crossed right over my doorstep |
I was taught we must be grateful for the time that we are here |
In the world |
To accept death as beyond our heads and be bitter no more |
But if you found your first joy in life in the arms of a man |
Don’t tell me you wouldn’t curse the god that made your hands |
When policemen shot your baby crossing right over your doorstep |
Policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep |
Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep |
His arms were so close you could see the blood pulsing through both his wrists |
Don’t tell me the cops are right in a wrong like this |
'Cause policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep |
In my life I never met a guy who was a better man |
(How sad that she doesn’t understand how) |
Oh so gentle with his woman and with two feet on the ground |
(Just as solid as he sounds) |
And I felt my first joy in life with my head on his chest |
Then his trouble came from looking out for all the rest |
Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep |
Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na |
Oo-wo-oo-wo-oo-woo |
Well, I’ve tried so hard to be a peaceful, loving woman |
Oh, I believed that love and understanding were the way |
Oh, but how many gone before you listen to the cries |
With my dead heart, how do I find my way through the truth and all the lies |
Policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep |
Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na |
Oo-wo-oo-wo-oo-woo |
