I love a cop. I love... a COP!

What a situation, ain't it awful?
Life is really grim.
I can only say that it's unlawful
how I feel towards him!

I love a cop! I love a cop!
If I introduce him as my steady
Down at where I work
I can hear the rumors spread already:
"Dora's gone berserk!"

Then there's Thea,
Oh how gruesome!
Can ya see me introduce 'im?
"You remember her, she detested you."
"You remember him, he arrested you."

I'm so confused! I'm so confused!
If I loved a dentist or a doctor,
I'd be up on top
But I ... love a cop!

I love a cop. I love... a COP!
Though it wasn't easy to accept him
Now I think he's sweet
You should hear him tell the way I swept him
off his big flat feet!

I love a cop. I love... a COP!
I can see his drawbacks clear as crystal
still, I testify
once you take away his club and pistol,
Floyd won't hurt a fly.

Floyd's ambitious and he’s forceful
Energetic and resourceful!
I can see how far this will carry him
If he'd get an honest job, I would marry him!

That's how it is.
He's mine, I'm his.
Little did I know when Floyd first kissed me
And I whispered "Stop"
You can't.... stop a cop!
