|
Do you still say your prayers little darlin' |
|
do you go to bed at night |
|
Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright |
|
But tommorow's fall in number |
|
in number one by one |
|
You wake up and you're dying |
|
you don't even know what from |
|
|
|
Well they shot you point blank |
|
you been shot in the back |
|
Baby point blank you been fooled this time |
|
little girl that's a fact |
|
Right between the eyes, baby, point blank |
|
right between the pretty lies that they tell |
|
Little girl you fell |
|
|
|
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast |
|
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked |
|
but what they asked baby wasn't right |
|
you didn't have to live that life, |
|
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet |
|
These days you don't wait on Romeo's |
|
you wait on that welfare check |
|
and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have |
|
and on all the promises |
|
|
|
That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes |
|
Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain |
|
You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank |
|
and it's one false move and baby the lights go out |
|
|
|
Once I dreamed we were together again |
|
baby you and me |
|
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be |
|
We were standin' at the bar |
|
it was hard to hear |
|
The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear |
|
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four |
|
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor |
|
You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow |
|
And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go |
|
|
|
Well I saw you last night down on the avenue |
|
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you |
|
You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain |
|
You didn't answer when I called out your name |
|
You just turned, and then you looked away |
|
like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away |
|
|
|
Point blank, right between the eyes |
|
Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell |
|
Point blank, shot right through the heart |
|
|
|
Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it |
|
Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights |
|
Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away |
|
Point blank, they caught you in their sights |
|
Point blank, did you forget how to love, |
|
girl, did you forget how to fight. |
|
Point blank they must have shot you in the head |
|
Cause point blank |
|
bang bang baby you're dead. |
