Officer & a Gentleman

Lola Ray


I was an optimist once 
I scoured the streets to find tree lined parking spots 
Until and officer stopped 
We argued a bit and then I finally understood 

She said, 'no matter what you say, even if you do, I don't really care, 
I'm not here to kill anybody's mood. No matter what you say, even if you do 
I don't really care, I'm a lot like you everybody's rude.' 
But now I am a criminal to be charged 
With a heart that's far too large 
To give to just anyone (to just anyone) 
What a messed up world this is 
'Cause you were an officers and I was a gentleman 
And we played our parts so well 
If there was a hurricane 
We were the aftermath 
And I'll leave you with this love 

Now all I did was bitch and moan 
'Cause nothings ever good enough for this buttercup 
And when I sleep the sleep alone 
I blame myself and again I'm never wrong 

She said, 'no matter what you say, even if you do, I don't really care, 
I'm not here to kill anybody's mood. No matter what you say, even if you do 
I don't really care, I'm a lot like you everybody's rude.' 
But now I am a criminal to be charged
