Lyrics
Judge, I know you don?t care to hear my story
But I?m gonna tell you anyhow
I?m not seekin? no artificial glory
I just need a little empathy right now
Oh, ?cuz it don?t seem fair and it?s just not right
To be a first-time offender and looked up tight
Yeah, that?s me - I?m a first-time offender.
So won?t you put yourself in my shoes -
Your Honor, I?m beggin? you please
Have a little pity on me.
Pity on me.
And Judge, I don?t expect you to change your way of dealing
With the criminal mind
But I got me this funky little feeling
That you see this sort of magic all the time
Oh, ?and it don?t seem fair and it?s just not right
To be a first-time offender and looked up tight
Yeah, that?s me - I?m a first-time offender.
So won?t you put yourself in my shoes -
Your Honor, I?m beggin? you please
Have a little pity on me.
Pity on me.
(Instrumental)
And Judge, I know you don?t wanna hear my story
But I?m gonna tell you anyhow
I?m not seekin? no artificial glory
I just need a little empathy right now
Oh, ?cuz it don?t seem fair and it?s just not right
To be a first-time offender and looked up tight
Yeah, that?s me - I?m a first-time offender.
So won?t you put yourself in my shoes -
Your Honor, I?m beggin? you please
Have a little pity on me.
Pity on me.
I?m a first time offender - I?m just a first-time offender
First-Time Offender.. (repeat to end).
