Bonnie And Clyde lyrics - Belinda Carlisle

You've heard the story of Jesse James

Of how he lived and died?

If you're still in need of something to read

Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde

Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang

I am sure you all have read how they were and still

And those who still

Are usually found dying or dead

They call them cold hearted killers

They say they are heartless and mean

But I say this with pride

That I once knew Clyde when he was honest

And a bright and clean

But the laws fold around

Kept taking him down and locking him up in a cell

'Til he said to me: "I'll never be free"

If a policeman is killed in Dallas

And they have no clue or guide

If they can't think or find

They just wipe their slake clean

And hang it on Bonnie and Clyde

If they try to act like citizens

And rent them a nice little flat

About the third night

They're invited to fight by a

Sub gun's rat tat tat

Some day they'll go down together

They'll bury them side by side

To few it will be grief to the law a relief

But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde
