You were standin' in the doorway I could see your bags were packed on down the hall As you slowly wrapped the noose around me I could feel the gallows door was just about to fall
Shot down - I didn't it comin' Shot me down in my prime Shot down - my whole world went numb and Lovin' you was just like doin' hard time Lovin' you was a crime
When I got your invitation I couldn't find the rsvp And as we played the game of true love confessions Like a spider to a fly, you turned the gun on me
Shot down - I didn't it comin' Shot me down in my prime Shot down - my whole world went numb and Lovin' you was just like doin' hard time Lovin' you was a crime
Shot down - I didn't it comin' Shot me down in my prime Shot down - I saw your smokin' gun and I fell to the ground - yes you did Yes, you shot me down Shot down - I didn't it comin' Shot me down in my prime Shot down - my whole world went numb and Lovin' you was just like doin' hard time Lovin' you was a crime
