Nobody's got the gun Nobody's trying to get the drop on anyone Nobody's standing out on main street With the sun blazing down Saying "There's only room for one of us in this here town" Nobody's got the be the number one Nobody's got the gun
She may not understand And she may want you eating from her hand If she's got you in a corner And you can smell the smoke and flame You reach for your revolver To do the same You'll blow your love away forever, number one Nobody's got the gun
You may think love is hard enough You may never get to rehearse And you can do without this stuff Making everything worse She's just the same as you She needs your love just like you want her to
You can't go playing poker With a pistol in your sleeve You can't make somebody love you By threatening to leave If you want a love forever, number one Nobody's got the gun
