Arrest Me

 

You think you know me, but you really don't.

The truth is I’ve been such a bad boy,

And soon I won’t go anywhere. I won’t…

Not unless those cuffs are some little toy.

It’s time for you to arrest me, sir. Please.

Look more closely. Can’t you tell I’m no good?

Discipline's a breeze with your expertise -

All your commands will be well understood.

Time has come for this boy to be reformed.

I’ll lower my head with the proper respect.

The gavel down, both of us uniformed,

I’ll at once be yours to guard and protect.

In your custody I’m sure to learn much,

Sentenced to a lifetime of your sweet touch.
