Witness Protection

03 Witness Protection
(Jim Stanard)

I need witness protection
I need the marshal’s help
I can’t quit you by myself
I can’t quit you by myself

Like Burton and Liz Taylor
like cigars and gasoline
we’re just no good together
as exciting as we seem

Judged as incompatible
there won’t be no reprieve
it is my testimony
that I gotta leave

I need witness protection
gotta break the bad connection
gotta find a new direction
I need the marshal’s help

Witness protection
we got a dangerous affection
got to erase all detection
I can’t quit you by myself
I can’t quit you by myself

When we first met, it was a case
of mistaken identity
I thought you were an angel
heaven sent for me

I soon discovered evidence
our bonding can’t survive
We need trial separation
let’s say 40 years to life

I need witness protection
gotta break the bad connection
gotta find a new direction
I need the marshal’s help

Witness protection
we got a dangerous affection
gotta to erase all detection
I can’t quit you by myself
I can’t quit you by myself

I’ll grow a beard and dye my hair
and paint on fake tattoos
Assume a new identity
some place like Timbuktu

I won’t use no cell phone
I’m helpless to your charms
‘cause if I ever see you
I’d run back to your arms

I need witness protection
gotta break the bad connection
gotta find a new direction
I need the marshal’s help

Witness protection
we got a dangerous affection
gotta to erase all detection
I can’t quit you by myself
I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself
I can’t quit you by myself
