Partner in Crime

Partner in Crime


I've done some evil things and I'm not proud
But I'm lucky enough to have found your face in the crowd
You whip out your machete on our first date
And stab the waiter in the face cause our food was late
You know how to treat a lady
And I swoon
That's what people crazy
In love will do

We could be Mickey and Mallory
On the cover of the national magazines
On the run
Splattered with blood
We sure make a pretty great team

I want us to be Bonnie and Clyde
I'm looking for a partner in crime
We'll rob a bank
It's you I thank
For making me feel so alive

If I'm stuck with you in jail
I hope we never make bail
I'll carve some soap into a knife
I'm your crazy outlaw wife
I'll distract the guard while you attack
No matter what happens I've got your back
We'll spread terror around this land
Hand in hand
And never look back

We could be Mickey and Mallory
Interviewed on TV screens
On the run
Splattered with blood
We sure make a pretty great team

I want us to be Bonnie and Clyde
I'm looking for a partner in crime
We'll rob a bank
It's you I thank
For making me feel so alive

We'll elope in Vegas
Our parents won't attend
Our families' all dead
They'll never trace us
We get in lots of trouble
But we're functional as a couple

When you're in the room no one else exists
I'm number one on your most wanted list
When I get the chair
I hope you're there
Can you see the sparks
Our love makes in the dark

We could be Mickey and Mallory
On the cover of the national magazines
On the run
Splattered with blood
We sure make a pretty great team

I want us to be Bonnie and Clyde
I'm looking for a partner in crime
We'll rob a bank
It's you I thank
For making me feel so alive
