I'll rise to your gavels crash I'll run to you anywhere No need to take a bow I'm gonna flatter you any way Disturb your mind when you look at me Restore order and leave me now I won't make this hard on you Lets reach this verdict my love is gone You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court The jurys out while you're running free I'm locked up behind the bars My way out is your loveless bond You'll see me when I'm on the up and up Why'd you say that I held you down When you know it was the other way around It's getting cloudy on this side of town Your setting sun is the only light You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court At the end of our golden age There's nothing left but me and you Give me a chance there's a void to fill We're built to last not built to spill You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court You tried but you never won You got me held in contempt of court
