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 |
