An old sentimental night Roll me at your sides, shot me down No there ain't no enemy here You keep me very near and shoot me down, shoot me down
Your hands they flutter up I'm not dangerous, my buttercup And shoot me down in flames
Stand back baby, stand back and let me breathe I think I'm a fallin' outta here I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the melting snow I can feel your breath against my ear
I might just disappear Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? Well, wouldn't that be nice?
I look into your eyes It comes as no great surprise You're gonna shoot me down, shoot me down
I know that when you smile It'll only be a short little while Shoot me down in flames
Shoot me down In flames Shoot me down In flames
You're gonna shoot me down Oh, in flames Shoot me down, shoot me down In flames
