Conversation with a Cop - Fanny

Good morning, I suppose you’re here to issue me a warning

And to ask me what I’m doing out alone

You’re suspicious that I’m not asleep at home

Yeah, I only wish that I could tell you, but I haven’t any reason to be out

when every place is dark

I’d only like to flee the light you’re shining in my face

I’ve done no wrong;

I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog

Yes, only, do I have to have a license to be lonely?

It’s a warm night and I couldn’t get to sleep

Did you worry that I might disturb the peace?

Yeah, well I’m alone and all too helpless, and I thought I had the right to

take a walk at any time I pleased

I never knew the night could turn a whim into a crime

I’ve done no wrong;

I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog

And I wonder how it feels to be afraid of everyone you see

I wonder why you keep those nervous fingers on your gun

I’ve done no wrong;

I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog

Yeah, now don’t get me wrong, I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
