Murder
Getting away with it!

Murder!
There might be a law against it
Murder!
There might be a law against it
Murder!
There might be a law against it

"Murder!"
"Murder!"

Murder!
Murder!

I've heard you've been going 'round
You've been playing away from home
Look at you now, a guilty queen
Who doesn't deserve her throne
I recall a certain favour
I would get from your love
Now it's taste I cannot savour
I thought it was sweet
Revenge is sweeter

I'll be the cause of misery
The bane of your life
The poison in your tea
[Chorus]
You've been getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with it!

Murder!
There might be a law against it
Murder!
There might be a law against it
Murder!
There might be a law against it

Getting away with it!
Getting away with it!

There might be a law against it
Aparrently though, there's not
So taking the law into my own hands
Is one of the options that I've got

If punishing you was down to me
I'd lock you up and throw away the key

[Chorus 2]
You've been getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with it
Getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with murder
Murder!
"Getting away with it!"
Murder!
"Getting away with it!"

I'll be the cause of misery
The bane of your life
The poison in your tea

[Chorus 3]
You've been getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with it
Getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with it
Getting away with murder
You've been messing around my life
You and me, we can go no further
You've been getting away
Getting away with murder
