SHE CAME IN AROUND THREE A.M.
THE SMELL OF LIQUOR AND BEER ON HER BREATH
IT LOOKED LIKE SHE’D HAD A REAL GOOD TIME
‘CAUSE HER MAKEUP WAS SMUDGED AND HER HAIR WAS A MESS
I SAT DOWN TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION
BEGAN THE LONG PROCESS OF HER INTERROGATION
I EVEN SHINED A BRIGHT LIGHT ON HER
BUT SHE CLAMMED UP, OH AND WOULDN’T SAY A WORD
SHE HAD A BAD CASE OF FIFTH AMENDMENT
ACTING A LOT LIKE A GUILTY DEFENDANT
REFUSING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I POSED
AFRAID THAT THE TRUTH JUST MIGHT BE EXPOSED
SHE SAT THERE IN SILENCE EXPRESSING RESENTMENT
SHE HAD A BAD CASE OF FIFTH AMENDMENT
I TREATED HER AS HOSTILE DUE TO HER DEMEANOR
NO COOPERATION YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN HER
SHE JUST STARED ME IN THE EYES WITH HER JAW CLENCHED TIGHT
I WAS BOUND AND DETERMINED TO KNOW WHERE SHE’D BEEN TONIGHT
BUT SHE HAD A BAD CASE OF FIFTH AMENDMENT
ACTING A LOT LIKE A GUILTY DEFENDANT
REFUSING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I POSED
AFRAID THAT THE TRUTH JUST MIGHT BE EXPOSED
SHE SAT THERE IN SILENCE EXPRESSING RESENTMENT
SHE HAD A BAD CASE OF FIFTH AMENDMENT
SHE FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND CONFESSED
SHE’D BEEN OUT DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY
‘CAUSE I FORGOT OUR ANNIVERSARY AGAIN
AND DID I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
I HAD A BAD CASE OF FIFTH AMENDMENT
ACTING A LOT LIKE A GUILTY DEFENDANT
REFUSING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS SHE POSED
AFRAID THAT THE TRUTH JUST MIGHT BE EXPOSED
I SAT THERE IN SILENCE EXPRESSING EMBARRASSMENT
I THINK IT’S TIME I TOOK THE FIFTH AMENDMENT
THE FIFTH AMENDMENT
