Lyrics

    I feel lighter in the waistline
    With no hands around me,
    No spit in my teeth,
    No, I’m not your daydream,
    I won’t have your baby
    Stop cause you’re killing my vibe
    It’s shot in the dark,
    I’m not a walk in the park
    I come loaded with the safety switched off.
    this girl is a gun
    and we been having some fun
    and I could show you if you turn the lights on
    
    I keep waiting for luck
    To come swallow me up
    I feel better when the boys stop calling.
    I keep falling in love,
    and this measuring cup
    is overflowing with the same damn problems.
    
    this girl is a gun,
    before you know it, it’s done
    and you’ll be wishing that you crossed your fingers
    oh but god is it fun,
    you can have more than once,
    so lemme show you how to touch my trigger
    
    my newest baby’s testing me lately
    Making me crazy from morning to evening
    And I cannot take it I love it I break it
    need it
    leave it
    If I believe it’s a waste of my
    Time is a blessing
    with me it’s a lesson
    And I can’t be stressing
    to give you attention
    Cause oh it’s never enough,
    so I’m giving you up,
    and you’ll be better with a nice girl, darling.
    
    I keep waiting for luck
    To come swallow me up
    I feel better when the boys stop calling.
    I keep falling in love,
    and this measuring cup
    is overflowing with the same damn problems.
    (Yeah!) this girl is a gun,
    before you know it’s done and you’ll be wishing that you crossed your fingers
    oh but god is it fun,
    when you can have more than one,
    so lemme show you how to touch my trigger
    
    I keep waiting for luck
    To come swallow me up
    I feel better when the boys stop calling.
    I keep falling in love,
    and this measuring cup
    is overflowing with the same damn problems.
    
    this girl is a gun,
    before you know it, it’s done
    and you’ll be wishing that you crossed your fingers
    oh but god is it fun,
    you can have more than one,
    so lemme show you how to touch my trigger
