MISTAKEN IDENTITY
(Summer/Diamond/Smith/Wyant, 1991)

What's going on? Sssshh
Hey, look
Your right to remain silent

Undercover cop car
Came screeching to a halt
Body lying on the ground
Must be someone's fault
Circumstantial evidence
Seemed to point her way
Her right to remain silent
Was all she heard them say

Blue dress, blue eyes
Blonde hair, about five foot nine
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face
Wrong crime

Chorus:
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity (hey, hey)
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity

I didn't do it
No, I didn't do it

No money for a lawyer
To defend her case
Standing in the line-up
Tears rolling down her face

No one cared to listen
Someone had to take the heat
Sometimes there's no justice
When you're a victim of the street

Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime 
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face

Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face

Chorus

They didn't even say "I'm sorry"
Tried to put her away in a hurry
Don't make her pay the price
She's not guilty (guilty)
For someone else's crime
Set her free (set her free)

I didn't
I didn't
I didn't do it, no...
Guilty, guilty...

Chorus...

Stop now
Not guilty
Stop now...

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


IDENTIDAD EQUIVOCADA
(Summer/Diamond/Smith/Wyant, 1991)

¿Qué pasa? Sssshh
Oye, mira
Tiene derecho a permanecer callada

Un coche de policía camuflado
Paró en seco con un chirrido
El cuerpo echado en el suelo
Debe de ser un error de alguien
La evidencia circunstancial
Parecía apuntar hacia ella
Su derecho a permanecer callada
Fue todo lo que ella les oyó decir

Vestido azul, ojos azules
Pelo rubio, sobre un metro setenta
Lugar equivocado, momento equivocado
Cara equivocada
Crimen equivocado

Estribillo:
Identidad equivocada
Te podría pasar a ti o a mí
Identidad equivocada (hey, hey)
Identidad equivocada
Te podría pasar a ti o a mí
Identidad equivocada
Identidad equivocada

Yo no lo hice
No, yo no lo hice

Sin dinero para un abogado
Que defienda su caso
De pie en la rueda de reconocimiento
Lágrimas cayendo por su rostro

Nadie se preocupó en escuchar
Alguien tenía que pagar el pato
A veces no hay justicia
Cuando se es una víctima de la calle

Lugar equivocado, momento equivocado
Cara equivocada, crimen equivocado
Lugar equivocado, momento equivocado
Cara equivocada

Lugar equivocado, momento equivocado
Cara equivocada, crimen equivocado
Lugar equivocado, momento equivocado
Cara equivocada

Estribillo

Ni siquiera dijeron "lo siento"
Intentaron encerrarla rápidamente
No le hagan pagar el precio
Ella no es culpable (culpable)
Del crimen de otra persona
Libérenla (libérenla)

No fui yo
No fui yo
Yo no lo hice, no...
Culpable, culpable...

Estribillo...

Paren ya
No culpable
Paren ya...
