Lyrics
I'm sick and tired
Of you telling me
What I need to be
You wouldn't know
The first thing about me
You never understood
Where to hold the line
But this space is mine
I've got the golden gun
It fires the silver bullets
Maybe you should run
I've found the trigger, pull it
Don't let the lipstick tame you
It's just a trick
Don't let my love sustain you
It's not what you think
I've got the golden gun
And it's dangerous
You stab my soul
And you're testing me
You've pushed me to extremes
And I've lost the will
To pretend that you're reprieved
Stop trying to tell me
I'd make a lovely wife
You only want me nice
I've got the golden gun
It fires the silver bullets
Maybe you should run
I've found the trigger, pull it
Don't let the lipstick tame you
It's just a trick
Don't let my love sustain you
It's not what you think
I've got the golden gun
And it's dangerous
It's dangerous...
I've started thinking for myself
I don't need your self-serving help
'Cause now I'm taking back control
And I know...
It's dangerous
I've got the golden gun
It fires the silver bullets
Maybe you should run
I've found the trigger, pull it
Don't let the lipstick tame you
It's just a trick
Don't let my love sustain you
It's not what you think
I've got the golden gun
And it's dangerous
