Lyrics Emilíana Torrini

Emilíana Torrini

Gun

Every day I see you looking in

I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin

You're longing to be love but you're alone

N' your longing makes you shiver to the bone

I know your mama told you nothing of importance

No your daddy taught you nothing you could learn

You've had your sisters weighing on your pockets

N' your priest he tried so hard to get you turned

Maybe you've been living lonely

While your woman has a fellow on the side

Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny

And you failed in everything that comes to mind

You see I'm only here to let you know

That I love you and I'll never let you go

So take me in the hand don't walk on by

For the life this has to offer twists inside

Now your woman has her fellow in your bed

You have to go you have to move right in

N' the ring on your finger would leave another scar

But the joke's on her she hasn't seen it all

So you shot him up close n' you shot him in the face

N' your woman looked on and your children they embraced

N' the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire

You moved right in, yeah you moved right in

Stop shaking, sweating, whining and regretting

You're making a scene that is gonna get you caught

Hey look me in the barrel and tell me that you love me

Yes this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind
