Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Every day, I see you lookin' in

I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin

You're longing to be loved, but you're alone

And your longing makes you shiver to the bone

[Verse 2]

I know your mama told you nothin' of importance

No, your daddy taught you nothin' you could learn

You had your sisters weighin' on your pockets

And your priest, he tries so hard to get you turned

[Verse 3]

Maybe you've been livin' lonely

While your woman has a fellow on the side

Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny

And you've failed in everythin' that comes to mind

[Verse 4]

Now you see, I'm only here to let you know

That I love you and I'll never let you go

So take me in the hand, don't walk on by

For the life this has to offer twists inside

[Verse 5]

Now, your woman has a fellow in your bed

You have to go, you have to move right in

And the ring on your finger would leave another scar

But the joke's on her, she hasn't seen it all

[Verse 6]

So you shot him up close and you shot him in the face

And your woman looked on and your children, they embraced

And the the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire

You moved right in, yeah, you moved right in

[Verse 7]

Stop your shaking, sweatin', whining, and regrettin'

You're making a scene that is gonna get you caught

Hey, look me in the barrel and tell me that you love me

Yes, this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind
