Gettin' Away With Murder Lyrics

I thought I had the only key.
I thought you only opened up to me.
What happened?
Don't know how you call it love.
I thought I was your brightest light.
Someone else was lighting up your life.
What happened?
Don't know how you call it love.

I'm not suspicious,
No, not me.
But I'm not blind
And I'd have to be not to see.

You're getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.

You weren't happy loving one.
Two in the hand has left you holding none.
It happens.
Don't know how you call it love.
No, no.

You're not demanding,
No, not you.
You're understanding.
You do what you want.

You've been getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.

You said I was the only one,
But you were cheating all along.
There oughta be a law for what you've done.

I gotta save you from yourself.
I gotta stop you from hurting someone else.

You're not getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You've been getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with...

You're not getting away with murder.
(You're nor getting away...no, no, no.)
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with, (That's getting away with)
Getting away with murder.
You're getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with, (Naw, naw, getting away)
Getting away with murder.
You can't tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another.
That's getting away with, (That's getting away, you're not getting away.)
Getting away with murder.
You're getting away with murder.
You can't love a girl and hurt her.
That's getting away with,
Getting away with murder.
