Well he left me in the morning when the sun was low
Dug out all my pockets, all my pearls and gold
Kissed me like a villain with a crooked smile
And God only knows where he's off to now
Love and all it's bandits leave the body cold
Robbed of all possession, all your heart and soul
Branded me a fool, I guess I should've known
The boy I'd fallen for was a criminal.
Oh lord now,
I don't mind;
I'm just going along for the ride.
When all is said,
and all is done;
it's just like playing with guns.
He's the type of man to linger through the night
Blinding all his victims with the city lights
Once you get a taste and perception fails,
He'll wrap himself around you, drag you straight to hell
Oh lord now,
I don't mind;
I'm just going along for the ride.
When all is said,
and all is done;
it's just like playing with guns.
Well he left me in the morning when the sun was low
Dug out all my pockets, all my pearls and gold...
Oh lord now,
I don't mind;
I'm just going along for the ride.
When all is said,
and all is done;
it's just like playing with guns.
