The Love Police (Poem)

Inspired/borrowed from Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige's song 911.

If Death comes for me tonight, babe,
I want you to know
That I loved you.

I would only reveal my tears to you.

Tell the authorities in the Love Police that I'm not home tonight.
Messin' around with you
Is gonna get me a life of this.

But when I look into your eyes
Girl, you're worth the sacrifice.

If this is the kind of love Mama used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble.
I'm in real big trouble.
If this is the kind of love the older folks used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble.
I'm in real big trouble.

Someone please call 9-1-1.
Tell them I've just been shot down
And the bullet's in my heart
And it's piercing through my soul
Feel my body getting cold.

Someone please call 9-1-1.
The alleged assailant is a beautiful girl
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body getting cold.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner
I think I'm trapped here for a while
And every breath I fight to take
Is as hard as these four walls; I want to break.

I told the Love Police that you weren't here tonight
Messin' around with me
Is gonna get you a life of this.

But every time I look into your eyes
Boy, It's worth the sacrifice.

If this is the kind of love that your mom used to warn you about
Girl, you're in trouble
You're in real big trouble.

If this is the kind of love the older folks used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble.
I'm in real big trouble.

Someone please call 9-1-1.
Tell them I just got shot down
And it's piercing through my soul
Feel my body getting cold


Someone please call 9-1-1.
Can you do that for me?
The alleged assailant is a beautiful girl
And she shot me through my soul
And he shot through my heart
Feel my body getting cold.
