Don’t Need a Gun (Live from VH1 Storytellers)

[Verse 1]
A human heart goes out tonight
I want a red-hot love on a red stop light
I see a scene, so cold it echoes in blue
Oh, those twisting tongues, they are after you

[Pre-Chorus]
Wop bop a lu bop
Son, gotta move up
Flip flop fly
I said, lawdy Miss Clawdy
What a story dreams to buy
I don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane

[Chorus]
When the other man has none
I don't need a gun
A Russian roulette, no fun
I don't need a gun
I just need someone
I don't need a gun

[Verse 2]
Blood red lights a domination street
Well, I just need your love and to feel my heat
Or you can drive me through
That red stop light
With a whiplash smile

[Pre-Chorus]
Wop bop a lu bop
Son, you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
What a story dreams to buy
I don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane

[Chorus]
When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
A Russian roulette, no fun
I don't need a gun
I just need someone
I don't need a gun

[Bridge]
You will always be crying, yeah
Oh, you will always be dying, yeah yeah
Oh, you will always be dying

[Verse 3]
Ow! The dying light , ha ha ha
Johnnie Ray, he's always crying
Gene Vincent, he cried who slapped John
And me, I'm movin', movin', movin' on
I don't need a gun, yeah
Yeah
