Shoot Me Down lyrics

On those sentimental nights

you hold me on your sights

And shoot me down

And though there ain't no enemy here

you keep me very near

and shoot me down

shoot me down

Your hands, they flutter up

armed and dangerous, my buttercup

And shoot me down

in flames

Stand back baby, stand back and let me breathe

I think I'm falling out of here

I can hear the grass grow

I can hear the melting snow

I can feel your breath against my ear

I might just disappear

Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?

Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?

Well, wouldn't that be nice?

I look into your eyes

and it comes as no great surprise

you're gonna shoot me down

shoot me down

I know that when you smile

it'll only be a short little while

Shoot me down

in flames

Shoot me down

in flames

Shoot me down

in flames

you're gonna shoot me down

oh, in flames

shoot me down, shoot me down

in flames
