| Well, this is what happens when you fall for a pistol…
|
| No, no, I don’t mean no gun.
|
| Talkin''bout a man with bells and whistles…
|
| The kind that keeps your heart on the run.
|
| I met that cat in a two-bit juke-joint…
|
| Took my money in a game of pool.
|
| Next thing I knew, I was sittin''hind the eight ball,
|
| Playin’my heart, breakin’all the rules.
|
| Throw your rope around the runaway freight train,
|
| You know it’s gonna drag you down the track.
|
| You dust your britches off, an’tell yourself you’re insane,
|
| But every time you love a man like that…
|
| You get lost; |
| you get lonely.
|
| You get calls from the police.
|
| Tell your Mama: «Don't know what happened.»
|
| Well you wanted trouble?
|
| Now you got a fistful.
|
| That’s what happens when you fall for a pistol.
|
| Ah ha.
|
| Well, you’d think by now I’d a-learned my lesson.
|
| But I keep makin’them same mistakes.
|
| There must be some clue I keep missin'…
|
| How many times can a good heart break?
|
| Well, I keep fallin’for all them bad boys…
|
| Poor or rich as dirt.
|
| Lots of fun, and I ain’t jokin',
|
| But every time I think I won’t get hurt…
|
| I get lost; |
| I get lonely.
|
| I get calls from the police.
|
| Tell my Mama: «Don't know what happened.»
|
| Well, I wanted trouble?
|
| Now I got a fistful.
|
| That’s what happens when you fall for a pistol.
|
| Well, you get lost; |
| you get lonely.
|
| You get calls from the police.
|
| Tell your Mama: «Don't know what happened.»
|
| Well you wanted trouble, now you got a fistful.
|
| Well, that’s what happens when you fall for a pistol.
|
| Well, that’s what happens when you fall for a pistol, girl.
|
| Sort of men’d give you a headache, now.
|
| Oh, you’d better get on home. |
