Shoot It
David Lee Roth · Other Songs - David Lee Roth
Got me in her sights
Is this a blessing in disguise?
Fatality on a Saturday night
Right between the eyes
Well, honey I know you never satisfied
Just a paradise on a roll
C'Mon and take the fat chance
This ain't suicide
Sit back and let it all unfold
You better...
Shoot it, Shoot it
C'Mon baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's good for me!
How's your love life, how's your sister
Ooh, I can't resist
Is this the one that gets away?
Well, lemme tell ya my friend
That it's all how much you spend, baby
Not how much you make
You say you don't wanna dance
Honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth an' hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night
That you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock'n'roll
You Better...
Shoot it, Shoot it
C'Mon baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Talkin' about me, baby
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, it's good for me!
Wow!
Whoo! Dressed to the nines
Don't cry wolf too many times, baby
But you can trust in me
Want some good clean fun?
Well, I heard you play with guns
An' I see you got a vacancy!
You say you don't wanna dance
Honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth an' hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night
That you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock'n'roll
Ow!
Shoot it, Shoot it
C'Mon baby put your best shot on me
I'm just a movin' target, mama
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's great for me!
You pull yo gun, you better...
Shoot it, Shoot it
C'Mon baby put your best shot on me
Set 'em up, Shoot 'em down
Shoot it, Shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
A friend in need, I love ya honey!
Shoot it, Shoot it
Beggers can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you?
It's unbelievably spectacular from over here, baby...
