- Smoking Gun LyricsI get a constant busy signal
when I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling
you're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions
and baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
a so-called smoking gun
Maybe you want to end it
you've had your fill of my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me
and you know that I'm not that dumb
I put two and one together
and we know that's not an even sum
And I know just where to catch you with
that well known smoking gun
(instrumental)
I'm standing here bewildered
I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining
my eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running
my heart's beating just like a drum
Now they've knocked me down and taken it
that still hot smoking gun
Yeah, still hot smoking gun
Yes, they've taken it
Still hot, smoking gun
Oh, they've taken it
Still hot smoking gun
They've knocked me down
and taken it, oh
when I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling
you're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions
and baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
a so-called smoking gun
Maybe you want to end it
you've had your fill of my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me
and you know that I'm not that dumb
I put two and one together
and we know that's not an even sum
And I know just where to catch you with
(instrumental)
I'm standing here bewildered
I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining
my eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running
my heart's beating just like a drum
Now they've knocked me down and taken it
that still hot smoking gun
Yeah, still hot smoking gun
Yes, they've taken it
Still hot, smoking gun
Oh, they've taken it
Still hot smoking gun
They've knocked me down
and taken it, oh
