point blank - the boss - bruce springsteen
Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at nightPrayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alrightBut tomorrow's fall in number in number one by oneYou wake up and you're dying you don't even know what fromWell they shot you point blank you been shot in the backBaby point blank you been fooled this time little girl that's a factRight between the eyes baby, point blank right between the pretty lies that they tellLittle girl you fellYou grew up where young girls they grow up fastYou took what you were handed and left behind what was askedbut what they asked baby wasn't rightyou didn't have to live that life,I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my JulietThese days you don't wait on Romeo's you wait on that welfare checkand on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promisesThat always end up point blank, shot between the eyesPoint blank like little white lies you tell to ease the painYou're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blankand it's one false move and baby the lights go outOnce I dreamed we were together again baby you and meBack home in those old clubs the way we used to beWe were standin' at the bar it was hard to hearThe band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my earYou pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted fourYou grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floorYou just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slowAnd as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you goWell I saw you last night down on the avenueYour face was in the shadows but I knew that it was youYou were standin' in the doorway out of the rainYou didn't answer when I called out your nameYou just turned, and then you looked away like just another stranger waitin' to get blown awayPoint blank, right between the eyesPoint blank, right between the pretty lies you fellPoint blank, shot straight through the heart,Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of itPoint blank, you're walkin' in the sights,Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move awayPoint blank, they caught you in their sightsPoint blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight.Point blank they must have shot you in the headCause point blank, bang bang baby you're dead.
