tUnE-yArDs - Doorstep lyrics

Policemen shot my baby As he crossed over my doorstep Policemen shot my baby Crossing right over my doorstep His arms were so close You could see the blood Pulsing through both his wrists Don't tell me the cops are right In a wrong like this Cause policemen shot my baby As he crossed over my doorstep I was taught we must be grateful For the time that we are here In the world To accept d**h as beyond our heads And be bitter no more But if you found your first joy in life In the arms of a man Don't tell me you wouldn't Curse the god that made your hands When policemen shot your baby Crossing right over your doorstep Policemen shot my baby As he crossed over my doorstep Policemen shot my baby Crossing right over my doorstep His arms were so close You could see the blood Pulsing through both his wrists Don't tell me the cops are right In a wrong like this Cause policemen shot my baby As he crossed over my doorstep In my life I never met a guy Who was a better man (How sad that she doesn't understand how) Oh so gentle with his woman And with two feet on the ground (Just as solid as he sounds) And I felt my first joy in life With my head on his chest Then his trouble came from Looking out for all the rest Policemen shot my baby Crossing right over my doorstep Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na Oo-wo-oo-wo-oo-woo x4 [Bridge] Well, I've tried so hard To be a peaceful, loving woman Oh, I believed that love and understanding Were the way Oh, but how many gone Before you listen to the cries With my dead heart How do I find my way Through the truth and all the lies Policemen shot my baby As he crossed over my doorstep Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na Oo-wo-oo-wo-oo-woo X4
