Rifle Love

[Intro: Raphael Saadiq]
What's up, sweetheart?
Whatever you did, you shot me straight in the heart
I like it, I like the way you're doing it to me, though
Whatever you doing
Just keep on shooting (Damn, this sounds good)
Just keep on shooting, 'cause you shot me straight in the heart
Girl, shoot me with...

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Shoot me with your rifle love
I heard it go bang, bang
Done stuck me up again (Girl, shoot me with)
Shoot me with your rifle love
I hold my hands up high
Touch and reach the sky

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
Is that your gun you shot me with? You know you are so wrong
I love the way you put it on me, got me wanting more
And every time I think about the love you've given me
You shoot me with your rifle, then you're all that I can see
Now all the other girls I thought I liked never had a gun like you
The one you shoot makes me feel so happy, I'm in love with you
See your rifle has more bullets than an automatic weapon got, baby
When I knew you were the one that could make me shine
I knew you had to be mine oh mine
Shoot me

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Shoot me with your rifle love
I heard it go bang, bang
Done stuck me up again (Girl, shoot me with)
Shoot me with your rifle love
I hold my hands up high
Touch and reach the sky

(Say what, Dawn)

[Verse 2: Dawn Robinson of Lucy Pearl/En Vogue]
Put your hands in the air, surrender to me
Better yet, lay down on the ground
Let mama pat you down, I'll spin you all around
My chamber's full of heat

[Raphael and D'Wayne Wiggins of Tony! Toni! Tone!]
It was the day you caught my eye
I can't explain it
This body shot could hurt your eye
Now let's get to it
Out of all the girls I thought I knew, D'Wayne just fell for you
I even tried to run, keep one on the side
Your love hit me right in my side

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Shoot me with your rifle love
I heard it go bang, bang
Done stuck me up again (Girl, shoot me with)
Shoot me with your rifle love
I hold my hands up high
Touch and reach the sky

[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq]
See of all the girls it's hard to find them any place (Gunshot)
There's no other girl in this town that could take your place
You're the first girl that I could never ever replace (Gunshot)
So come and bless me, darling, 'cause your love is all I need

[Interlude: Raphael, (Dawn & D'Wayne)]
(Uh yeah, uh yeah) You see what I'm saying
(Uh yeah) I need somebody like you
(Uh, uh, uh yeah) That's all you gotta do
(Uh yeah) Just shoot straight, baby
(Uh yeah) Shoot it straight now (gunshot)
If you don't mind, this is what I'd like to say right here...

[Chorus (until end)]
Shoot me with your rifle love
I heard it go bang, bang
Done stuck me up again (Come shoot me, girl)
Shoot me with your rifle love
I hold my hands up high
Touch and reach the sky

[Bridge (over second Chorus)]
