Lovely little lady
You’ve got me on the run
You’re a love machine and you say that I’m your gun
But I don’t care ’cause I’ve got to know

You said you were a loser
The kind that came off worse
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst
But I don’t care ’cause I’ve got to know

The only time she’s happy
Is when the bullets fly
And she’ll make you feel you’re better than any other guy
But I don’t care ’cause I’ve got to know

Lovely little lady
You’ve got me on the run – yeah
You’re a love machine and you say that I’m your gun
But I don’t care ’cause I’ve got to know
