Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love's a revolver
My love's a revolver

Oops I guess I shot ya
My finger's on the trigger
I had a bullet with your name on it
Click, click
I'm a sex pistol
My love should be illegal
Real deal baby
I'm no counterfeit
Click, click

Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks can kill
E-O-E-O
My body's fully loaded
And I got more ammo
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks can kill
E-O-E-O
You're an accessory to a murder 'cause

My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?

I let it bang, bang

You've been hit by a smooth criminal
A bad girl
I got you cryin' to your mama
Sayin'
I can't believe it
I seen ya tight
Bring ya knife into a gun fight
Caught up in love right
Think I'm in love, I

Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks can kill
E-O-E-O
My body's fully loaded
And I got more ammo
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks can kill
E-O-E-O
You're an accessory to a murder 'cause

My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?

I let it bang, bang
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I shoot 'em bang, bang
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I light 'em up and watch 'em fall

[Lil Wayne]
Bang ,
The shooter name is Wayne
The victim didn't complain
She just screamed 'shoot again'
I gave her extra rounds
My barrel twist around
I am Mr. shoot 'em down
I leave hearts on the ground
My love is a weapon
And yes I use it well
Then I let the rose petals
Cover up the bullet shell
I never shoot and tell
I only shoot to kill
And that vest ain't gonna help ya
Even if it's made of steel

My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?

I shoot 'em bang, bang
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I light 'em up and watch 'em fall
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I shoot 'em bang, bang
I light 'em up and watch 'em fall





Do you want to die happy?
Do you want to die?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Guetta and Madonna's song "Revolver" are filled with gun-based metaphors and sexual innuendos. The first line, "My love's a revolver" is a metaphor that suggests that the love shared by the singer is deadly and has the potential to cause harm. The chorus is repetitive and emphasizes the fact that the sex she has is so good that it is lethal. The lyrics which say, "I had a bullet with your name on it," and "My finger's on the trigger," suggest that she is in control and has the power to hurt her partner, reinforcing the dominant female sexuality present in the song.


The appearance of rapper Lil Wayne in the song brings in more gun metaphors and violent imagery through his verse. He sings about "shootin' down" his victims and leaving hearts on the ground. The violent and aggressive nature of the lyrics brings in a contrast with Madonna's verse, where she talks about the power of her sexuality and how her partner will be "crying to his mama" after experiencing it. Overall, the song can be interpreted as a representation of the powerful side of female sexuality and the impact it can have on others.
