Your friends will say

It's self defense

With no hope of recompense

And anyway it makes no sense

The way you hurt me baby



You always turn the other cheek

Always acted mild and meek

Ya always played me for a geek

The way you dressed to kill



Why don't just get a gun and shoot it

Why don't you just get a gun

Why don't you just get a gun

And shoot it through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine



You tried to stretch me on the rack

I saw you laughing when I cracked

You broke my will you broke my back

On the wheel of uncertainty



You tried to push me to the edge

You wouldn't listen when I begged

Why don't you push me off the ledge

It's just torture baby



Why don't just get a gun and shoot it

Why don't you just get a gun

Why don't you just get a gun

And shoot it through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine



Why don't you just buy a gun

Why don't you just buy a gun and shoot it

Why don't you just buy a gun



Your friends will say it's self defense

They say it's cheap and no expense



Why don't you just get a gun and use it

Why don't you just get a gun

Gun [cont]



Why don't you just get a gun

And shoot it through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine

Through this heart of mine
