In a bar uptown every Saturday night
It hangs heavy in the air, it's chokin', right?
Can't move for boozed, bombed broads and bleedin' hearts
Guys cryin' in their beer as their world falls apart
Oh, it's a crime what love can do to you
You could load it in a gun and squeeze the trigger
Bullet, bullet with your name on
With its sights on you
All love will do
Is shoot you down
Watch it on the news every day
Another guy's blown his girl away
Sweet little kid gets treated like a whore
She throws her body off the 17th floor
Oh, it's a crime what love can do to you
You could load it in a gun and squeeze the trigger
Bullet, bullet with your name on
With its sights on you
All love will do
Is shoot you down
Saw the headlines in the paper today
Read, "Girl, 17, guns down married lover
"Guy leaves behind a widow, a little boy aged 6 and a baby girl of 2
"If I couldn't have him, then nobody would", so the story goes
They're gonna lock her ass up and throw away the key
And she said, "I did it for love!" Oh, it's a crime what love can do to you
You could load it in a gun and squeeze the trigger
Bullet, bullet
Bullet, bullet
Bullet, bullet with your name on
With its sights on you
All love will do
Is shoot you down
