She’d step out from the shadows, Say, “Boy, what’d you do now?” And I’d sigh, “Aw Julie, really — Can’t you let it slide somehow?” Chorus But she’d say, “No, no, no — I’m stayin’ close to you Till you get your life in order And start doin’ somethin’ true. You’re a mess, but you’re worth it, And I’m seein’ this thing through. One day you’ll thank me When I make a man of you.” Verse 2 Caught me smokin’, caught me drinkin’, Caught me peein’ in a hall. Caught me noddin’ off on benches, Leanin’ half asleep on walls. She must’ve had a sixth sense Just for guys like me to see — But every time she lectured, She sounded oddly proud of me. Chorus (repeat) Bridge Then I cleaned up, stayed inside Didn’t give her any bait Got a job, shaved my face Started showin’ up on time, not late And when I saw her later Out of uniform and free She said, “Damn, you look good Guess my work’s complete.” Outro Now we’re friends, grabbin’ coffee Laughin’ ‘bout the past Officer Julie Tabasco Was a pain, but built to last And I’m grateful for her stubborn heart Even when she drove me mad Turns out all her trouble Was the best thing that I had.
