Partner In Crime by Ren Stedman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said, "You got cigarettes? I'm sorry, do you mind?"
I said, "If you've got a lighter, 'cause the gas ran out from mine."
And I Introduced myself and you just said, "Okay"
I said, "I think this is the part where you're supposed to say your name"
[Pre-Chorus]
But you were so high
And I was so sober
And I think you must have got the impression
I was a few years older
'Cause I couldn't even get served at the bar
And you couldn't even tell that I was watching from afar
The way you walked
And the way you talked to people and
You didn't even know
[Chorus]
And I've been looking for somebody that was not a waste of time
Somebody that would be the perfect partner in crime
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
[Verse 2]
We drank half of a bottle of the cheapest-tasting wine
And we said, "I'm surprised they even served me, I get ID'd all the time"
'Cause you said, "I'd rather spend my money on the drink than the identification"
[Pre-Chorus]
And you were so high
You probably don't even remember
That it was freezing cold outside
And it was in the middle of December
In your town Southend
And I said, "Would you maybe want to hang out again?"
And you could have said maybe
But you passed out in mid-sentence
And your friends said that's all you seem to do lately
[Chorus]
And I've been looking for somebody that was not a waste of time
Somebody that would be the perfect partner in crime
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
[Bridge]
You left your knickers on the floor
Just like a modern-day
Disney rom is being written right in front of me
But I'm pretty sure that Cinderella
Hadn't drank half of the bar
And taken all that ecstasy
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're just my type
The kind of girl that has her own list
Of what is wrong and what is right
[Chorus]
And I've been looking for somebody that was not a waste of time
Somebody that would be the perfect partner in crime
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
You said, "You got cigarettes? I'm sorry, do you mind?"
I said, "If you've got a lighter, 'cause the gas ran out from mine."
And I Introduced myself and you just said, "Okay"
I said, "I think this is the part where you're supposed to say your name"
[Pre-Chorus]
But you were so high
And I was so sober
And I think you must have got the impression
I was a few years older
'Cause I couldn't even get served at the bar
And you couldn't even tell that I was watching from afar
The way you walked
And the way you talked to people and
You didn't even know
[Chorus]
And I've been looking for somebody that was not a waste of time
Somebody that would be the perfect partner in crime
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
[Verse 2]
We drank half of a bottle of the cheapest-tasting wine

Someone to grow old with
To fight my battles with
Someone to grow old with
