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 sh** 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 And to obey That's not the way That's not the way 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 I fell in love with him But see we both committed sin Knew all along that he was trouble He did, my friend, so I did him, man [Chorus] Why I'm leavin my shoes You see, I fell in love with him And I took it all [?] I got myself in trouble Time's abided double And I'm not giving in [Chorus]
