Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love's a revolver, volver, volver, volver
My love's a revolver, volver, volver, volver

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 could kill, they will
My body's fully loaded
And I got more ammo
Line 'em up, knock 'em down
If looks could kill, they will
You're an accessory to 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've seen your type, bring a knife into a gun fight
Caught up in the law right
I think I'm in love, I

Line 'em up, knock 'em down
If looks could kill, they will
My body's fully loaded
And I got more ammo
Line 'em up, knock 'em down
If looks could kill, they will
You're an accessory to 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 line 'em up and watch them fall

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 shells
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 let it bang, bang

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

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





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