"Rough Justice" lyrics

Rough Justice

One time you were my baby chicken
Now you've grown into a fox
And once upon a time
I was your little rooster
Am I just one of your cocks?

It's rough justice
Oh, yeah
You're gonna have to trust me
It's rough justice
But you know
I never break your heart

So put your lips to my hips, baby
And tell me what's on your mind
I know you still got
That animal attraction for me
It's been a long, long time

It's rough justice
Oh, yeah
Oh, we never thought it dusty
It's rough justice
But you know
I never break your heart

You're feeling loose and lusty
So if you really want me, yeah
It's rough justice
And you know
I never break your heart
Yeah

It's rough justice
Oh, yeah
You think you really suss me?
It's rough justice
But you know
I never break your heart

First time I saw you, baby
You were springing like a young gazelle
And next thing I know
We're way down the road
And you're flying
Like a bat outta hell

It's rough justice
Oh, yeah
You're attitude's disgusting
You're gonna have to trust me
But you know
I never break your heart

I give you my possession
Don't want no opposition
It's rough justice
But you know
I never break your heart

Oh
Come on, baby
Oh, yeah
Whooo
Come one baby, now
Come on
