Gold Guns Girls
Metric · Fantasies [2009]
And the guns
In the world
Couldn't get you off
All the gold
And the guns
And the girls
Couldn't get you off
All the boys
All the choices in the world
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said, "Better luck next time"
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
All the lace
And the skin
In the shop
Couldn't get you off
All the toys
And the tools
In the box
Couldn't get you off
All the noise
All the voices
Never stop
And the girls
Couldn't get you off
All the boys
All the choices in the world
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said, "Better luck next time"
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Why you givin' me a hard time?
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
More and more, more and more, more and more, and more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
