Jumpin’ The Gun Lyrics
Meat Loaf
Heaven blesses those who wait, patience is a virtue, son
Keep your toe on the line, keep your foot on the brake
No sense jumpin the gun
But girl Im tired of waitin, you know lifes too short
Lemme kiss ya til the night is done
Aint no doubt about it, youre my favourite sport, God I wanna jump the gun
Chorus:
Feel like jumpin the gun, tonight Im gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin some fun, how about jumpin the gun
(chorus)
Now they say it doesnt matter if ya win or lose
Only matters how ya play the game
Well, but let me tell ya baby, if I had to choose
Gotta win ya now or go insane
(chorus)
Willya hold me like a trophy, willya burn up the track
Willya love me when the titles won
Blow away the competition baby, never look back, honey willya jump the gun
Girl:<
Gonna hold ya like a trophy, gonna burn up the track
Gonna love ya when the titles won
Theyll be eatin up the dust baby, never look back
Tonight Im gonna jump
Better get ready, better get set girl - this time were jumpin the gun
Ya think were goin too fast, aint seen nothin yet girl
This time were jumpin the gun
Ready take your mark, ooh I just cant wait - this time were jumpin the gun
Ya gotta break a couple rules if ya wanna break the tape
This time were jumpin the gun
(chorus repeats out)
