Lisa Stansfield Picket Fence Lyrics

When I signed
On the dotted line
I didn't sign up
For this

And when I swore
On the Holy Bible
It didn't mean
Shit to me

Because I fell in love with him
Up to my elbows
Up to my cheek
I knew the man was trouble
They gave me a shovel
And I digged him in

[Chorus]

In my defense
I never wanted
No picket fence
Nor a antique (???)
That's not the way
Hmm, that's not the way
I rest my case

Better get in line
For an orange suit
Too much anger
And so much to lose

So now I'm swearing
On the Holy Bible
To tell the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth

Because I fell in love with him
But we both committed sin
Knew all along that he was trouble
He did, my friend, so I did him, man!

[Chorus]

See, I fell in love with him
Up to my cheek
I knew the man was trouble
Time's abided double
And I'm not giving in

[Chorus]
