Machine Gun lyrics

Well, the first time that I saw you,

I could not speak a word.

My tongue was tied in giant knots,

I felt so disturbed

at the feeling rushing through me,

the heat inside my veins,

at the way my nerve ends tingle

every time you call my name.

Got a lust-ignited fever

and I can't put out the flame.

Next time that I saw you,

I felt so at ease.

You had a languid disposition,

I had a willingness to please.

And your candy-apple-red lips

full of violets and sex

had me harder than a coal train,

had my collar wringing wet.

Know I'm gonna crash and burn,

but I'm not finished yet

Well, my heart is pounding 

like a big bass drum,

excited at the thought 

I might get me some.

Lick it off my fingers,

taste it on my tongue.

Love you, little baby, 

like a ma-ma-ma-machine gun.

You are a symphony of elegance,

a masterpiece of grace,

an animated work of art

who's acquired a taste

for the flesh of weaker lovers

who lie down on their backs

to be ridden at your leisure

and be taken off like hats.

I'm not here for you to walk on

and I'm not your welcome mat.

Well, my heart is pounding 

like a big bass drum,

excited at the thought 

I might get me some.

Lick it off my fingers,

taste it on my tongue.

Love you, little baby, 

like a ma-ma-ma-machine gun,

ma-machine gun, yeah.

Well, first time that I saw you,

I could not speak a word.

My tongue was tied in giant knots,

I felt so disturbed

at the feeling rushing through me,

the heat inside my veins,

at the way my nerve ends tingle

every time you call my name.  

Got a lust-ignited fever

and I can't put out the flame.

My heart is pounding 

like a big bass drum,

excited at the thought 

I might get me some.

Lick it off my fingers,

taste it on my tongue.

Love you, little baby, 

like a ma-ma-ma-machine gun,

ma-, ma-, ma-, ma-ma-machine gun.

Ma-ma-ma-machine!
