Shot Down By Love Lyrics

John McVie Shot Down By Love

G. Sutton/S. Brown
Time after time my friends warned me
 to stay away
But it's easier said than done
I try and I try
But I'm drawn like a moth to a flame, baby
The closer and closer you come
Once I could fly just like a bird so free
When only the sky was blue
But now I'm shackled to your memory
And I'm blue as the sky over you
I watch the night come down on lonely street
Look at all the people...just like me
Chorus:
Shot down by love
Kisses like bullets in a gun
Betrayed by desire
Ready, aim, fire
Shot down by love
Night after night
I keep having the same old dream
And it's driving me out of my head
I see you and you're kissing me...
But I awake in an empty bed
One more night comes down on lonely street
And I'm still running from your memory
Repeat chorus
I never thought we'd lose it all
You break on top and it's a long, long way to fall
Would you like to...
Do you like to see me crawl?
Repeat chorus
