Smoking Gun
Robert Cray Lyrics

I get a constant busy signal
Whenever I call you, you never answer or make any effort to talk to me.

When I call you on the phone
I try to contact you through the phone.

I get a strong uneasy feeling
I feel worried and uneasy when I think about you.

You're not sitting there alone
You are accompanied by someone else.

I'm having nasty, nasty visions
I am imagining unpleasant and awful scenarios.

And baby you're in every one, yeah
You are always in my thoughts, even in these awful scenarios.

And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
I am scared that I will discover something about you.

So-called smoking gun
A clear evidence that you have done something wrong.

Maybe you want to end it
Perhaps you want to break up with me.

You've had your fill of my kind of fun
You are tired of spending time with me and doing the things I enjoy.

But you don't know how to tell me
You are unsure how to communicate with me.

And you know that I'm not that dumb
You believe I am smart enough to understand what is going on.

I put two and one together
I have figured out what is happening.

And you know that's not an even sum
It does not add up logically or fairly.

And I know just where to catch you with
I am aware of where I can find the damning evidence.

That well-known smokin' gun
That evidence which makes it clear that you have done something wrong.

I'm standing here bewildered
I am confused and disoriented.

I can't remember just what I've done
I do not recall what actions I took.

I can hear the sirens whining
I can hear the sound of police or emergency vehicles.

My eyes blinded by the sun
The glare of the sun is making it hard for me to see.

I know that I should be running
I am aware that I should flee or escape.

My heart's beating just like a drum
My heart is pounding rapidly.

Now they've knocked me down and taken it
The authorities have apprehended me and taken the damning evidence.

That still hot smokin' gun
The evidence which proves what I have done.

Yeah still hot smokin' gun
Yes, the evidence is still strong and present.

They've taken it
The authorities have possession of the evidence.

Still hot and smokin' gun
The evidence is still fresh and incriminating.

Oh, they've taken it
Oh yes, the evidence is no longer in my possession.

Still hot and smokin' gun
The evidence is still clearly implicating me.

They've knocked me down, they've taken it
The authorities have subdued me and confiscated the evidence.

Ooh-ooh
A sound of pain or distress.

Aaah!
A sound of surprise or shock.
