Shot Down

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
