Composers: Sue Shifrin~Terry Britten

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 lightin’ 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 gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with
Gettin’ away murder

You weren’t happy lovin’ one
Two in the hand has left you holdin’ 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 gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with
Gettin’ away murder

You said I was the only one
But you were cheatin’ all along
There ought to be a law
For what you’ve done, oh…oh…

I gotta save you
From yourself
I gotta stop you
Hurtin’ someone else

You’re not gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with
Gettin’ away murder

You’re not gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with

You’re not gettin’ away with murder (You’re not gettin’ away)
You can’t love a girl and hurt her (No, no, no)
That’s gettin’ with
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with (That’s gettin’ away)
With murder

You’re not gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with (No, no)
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with (That’s gettin’ away)
Gettin’ away with murder (You’re not gettin’ away)

You’re not gettin’ away with murder
You can’t love a girl and hurt her
That’s gettin’ with (Gettin’ away with)
Gettin’ away murder

You can’t tell a girl you love her
While you’re workin’ on another
That’s gettin’ away with
