lyrics

LOADED GUN
by WD Picou

Well my aim is high, I shoot straight from the heart
I just try again if I miss my mark
With every step I take you know I take a chance
But I won't waste my love, I won't kill romance
Why, why, why does everybody run?
I think they think my love is a loaded gun

Love's got people falling left and right
In the middle of the day, in the heat of the night
Neath the rays of the sun and the light of the moon
I've seen people hit while hiding in a room
Why, why, why does everybody run?
I think they think my love is a loaded gun

There's lots of walking wounded from the point of Cupid's dart
Some got holes in their head, some got holes in their heart
With caution to the wind walk unafraid
You know I wouldn't hurt you, why do you turn away
Why, why, why does everybody run?
I think they think my love is a loaded gun
