Oh oh yeah
Gonna get you, yeah
Right now I'm in the mood for love and I know just what I'm gonna do
Oh I hope that you are ready for some action
Cause I'm gonna make a play for you
My heart is beating like a drum
And louder than thunder

Gun for hire
Full speed ahead
Stop running for cover
Love me instead
Gun for hire
Full speed ahead
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Yeah!
I've followed your every trail
But you've alway given me the slip
This time I think I've got your number
I'm coming out shooting from the hip
I'm hotter than the noon day sun
I'm just blazing fire

Gun for hire
Full speed ahead
Stop running for cover
Love me instead
Gun for hire
Full speed ahead
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Gun for hire
Full speed ahead
Stop running for cover
Love me instead

Full speed ahead

Let me in cause I know you really care
And I can't wait any longer
Can't you feel there is love in the air
Let's do it
Baby surrender
I've got you baby
I've got you now
I've got you
I've got you baby
I've got you now freeze!
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Gonna get you ooh

Oh my heart is beating like a drum
And it's louder than thunder
Can't you feel there is love in the air
Let's do it
Baby surrender
Gonna get you can't get away
I hope that you're ready for the action now

Gun for hire
