I need witness protection

I need the marshal’s help

I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself

 

Like Burton and Liz Taylor

like cigars and gasoline

we’re just no good together

as exciting as we seem

 

Judged as incompatible

there won’t be no reprieve

it is my testimony

that I gotta leave

 

I need witness protection

gotta break the bad connection

gotta find a new direction

I need the marshal’s help

 

Witness protection

we got a dangerous affection

got to erase all detection

I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself

 

When we first met, it was a case

of mistaken identity

I thought you were an angel

heaven sent for me

 

I soon discovered evidence

our bonding can’t survive

We need trial separation

let’s say 40 years to life

 

I need witness protection

gotta break the bad connection

gotta find a new direction

I need the marshal’s help

 

Witness protection

we got a dangerous affection

gotta to erase all detection

I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself

 

I’ll grow a beard and dye my hair

and paint on fake tattoos

Assume a new identity

some place like Timbuktu

 

I won’t use no cell phone

I’m helpless to your charms

‘cause if I ever see you

I’d run back to your arms

 

I need witness protection

gotta break the bad connection

gotta find a new direction

I need the marshal’s help

 

Witness protection

we got a dangerous affection

gotta to erase all detection

I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself

 

I can’t quit you by myself

I can’t quit you by myself
