There oughta be a law
Against breaking peoples' hearts
There oughta be a law
Against tearing them apart

There oughta be a law
Against making people cry
There ought be some kind of law
And I will tell you why

Take my heart and run away
Leave me longing all the day
I do the work
You do the play
And that's just not the way

There oughta be a law
Against cruelty to love
Then you would have to change your ways
Or you'd get thirty days

Mickey?
Yes, Sylvia?
I want to introduce a new law
Oh, really?
Uh-huh
Just what kind of new law?
Well, I think

There oughta be a law
Against driving me insane
There oughta be a law
Against loving you in vain

Then I'd be guilty
And you'd be too
They'd lock us up together
Just us two
There oughta be a law
To say that I must be with you
