Lyrics:

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics cause he’s gifted
at understanding evil

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics cause he’s gifted
at understanding evil

He reads my mind, as sweet as honey,
He’s got his own glow
He understands what motivates murderers,
What makes them tick
He plays on other people’s fears
Of magic, and of psychics, and of mind reading
While he’s calmly drinking tea, he truly gets to work

Cho’s a coworker and friend
In between cases, Jane’s couch sleeping
He manipulates my common sense
Family murdered, so he became a police volunteer
Giving a voice to the dead
By playing mental tricks on the living
I’ve got mad adoration for each of his episodes

Careful with his words,
Always keeps me guessing
Watch him turn up the charm,
Never done ;)

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics cause he’s gifted
at understanding evil

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics cause he’s gifted
at understanding evil

I think it’s cute how he doesn’t believe in having paranormal insights
Because he’s got them in spades
His curly locks of blonde hair
With blue eyes and oxfords, yeah
Plus black pin-striped suits

He uses that pearly white smile to get away with murder socially
Making his outrageous claims
So he can keep unearthing crimes like stolen art
Sees the killer in the first 5 minutes of each sode
But guides the detectives, like a star,
Helps them come to the right conclusions

Careful with his words,
Always keeps me guessing
Watch him turn up the charm,
Never done ;)

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics cause he’s gifted
at understanding evil

Jane’s once again stolen my heart
Rigsby and Van Pelt meant to be from the start
Never gonna give up on Red John
He’s my mentalist
Lives for trouble, record-holding at illiciting murder confessions
Bested psychics at understanding evil
