Gettin' Away With Murder - Patti Austin

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 cheatin' all along

There ought to be a law for what you’ve done

I gotta save you from yourself

I gotta stop you 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 not 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…)

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 not getting away with murder

You can’t love a girl and hurt her

That’s getting away with

Getting away, with murder
