Rolling Stones - Gunface



Gonna go downtown

Gonna get my gun

Gonna dress real sharp

Gonna beat my drum

I ain't gonna lie



Gonna walk so slow

Gonna talk just right

And my diamond ring

Gonna shine so bright

I ain't gonna lie



I've got a debt to repay

I ain't gonna cry

I put a gun in your face

You'll pay with your life



And I got my ears

And I got my eyes

And I got my narks

And my alibis

I won't waste your time



You made one false move

You made one mistake

When the juice is squeezed

That's the way it breaks

You'll pay for your crime



Your tongue lickin' way out of place

I'll rip it out

I'll stick a gun in your face

You'll pay with your life



I taught her everything I taught her how to dream

I taught her everything

I'm gonna teach her how to scream

I taught her all she knows

I taught her how to lie

I taught her everything

I'm gonna teach her how to cry



And you cause me hurt

And you cause me pain

And you turned the tap

On my burning rage

And I can't put it out



Gonna leave no sign

Gonna leave no trace

Gonna leave this town

In a state of grace

Give me the power



I got a debt to repay

I ain't gonna lie

I put a gun in your face

You'll pay for the crime



I taught her everything

I taught her how to speak

I taught her all she knows

I taught her how to eat

I half invented her

And now she acts so chic

I taught her everything

But now she's obsolete



I taught her everything

How to read and write

I taught her all she knows

She was a neophyte

I taught her everything

I loved to watch her grow

I taught her everything

And now I want to see her go



I taught her everything

I got a debt to repay

I ain't gonna cry

I'll put a gun in your face

You're playing with your life



I taught her everything

I taught her how to cheat

I taught her all she knows

She was so indiscreet

I taught her everything

I taught her how to lie

I taught her everything

I'm gonna teach her how to cry
