The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England in March 1978.

Look at me 
High upon the hill 
You could say 
I'm on top of the world 
Baby - I'm blue 
All because of you 
I can see this city 
Crumble all around me 
Press me to your chest 
Block out the view 
Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me 
Some kind of criminal 
You put me out-law 
Because I loved you

In my time 
One thing I've learned 
If you play with fire 
You get burned 
Oh, baby, it's true 
I got burned by you 
I put everything I had 
Into a bag 
And trusted you to do 
What you didn't do 
Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me 
Some kind of criminal 
You put me out-law 
Because l loved you

The first thing I think when I wake up 
When can I see you? 
The last thing I think when I'm drifting off 
When will I see you?

Oh. look at me 
I'm addicted still 
At first I refused, 
Now I just swallow the pill 
Oh, baby, won't you 
Fix me like you used to? 
I could spend my time in hell 
I might as well 
Cause hell is where I'm bound to dwell 
Without you 
Oh, whoa whoa whoa

You made me 
Some kind of criminal 
You put me out-law 
Because I loved you
