Lyrics[edit]
You look so pretty When you cry. Don’t wanna hit you But the only thing, Between our love is (1) a bloody nose (2) a busted lip And (3) a blackened eye
You look so pretty When you cry. Don’t wanna hit you But the only thing, Between our love is (1) a bloody nose (2) a busted lip And (3) a blackened eye
You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped
(cock, cock, cock it)
When I undo my belt, You melt and you walk away With a red, red, red, red welt (or so they say)
When I undo my belt, You melt and you walk away With a red, red, red, red welt (or so they say)
You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped
I wanna have your ache And beat you too I wanna have your ache And beat you too I wanna have your ache And beat you too I wanna have your ache And beat you too
You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped You’re a little pistol And I’m fucking pistol whipped
(cock, cock, cock it)
Trivia[edit]
