Emiliana Torrini - Gun lyrics

rate me

Every day I see you looking in<br />

I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin<br />

You're longing to be loved but you're alone<br />

And your longing makes you shiver to the bone<br />

<br />

And no, your mamma told you nothing of importance<br />

No, your daddy taught you nothing you could learn<br />

You had your sister's weighing on your pockets<br />

And your priest, he tries so hard to get you turned<br />

<br />

Maybe you've been living lonely<br />

While your woman has a fellow on the side<br />

Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny<br />

And you've failed in everything that comes to mind<br />

<br />

Now you see I'm only here to let you know<br />

That I love you and I'll never let you go<br />

So take me in the hand and walk on by<br />

For the life this has to offer twists inside<br />

<br />

Now your woman has a fellow in your bed<br />

You have to go, you have to move right in<br />

And the ring on your finger would leave another scar<br />

But the joke's on her, she hasn't seen it all<br />

<br />

So you shuffled up close and you shot him in the face<br />

And your woman looked on and your children, they embraced<br />

And the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire<br />

You moved right in, yeah, you moved right in<br />

<br />

Stuck, you're shaking, sweating, whining and regretting<br />

You're making a scene but it's gonna get you caught<br />

Meet me in the barrel and tell me that you love me<br />

Yes, this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind<br /><br />
