Do you still say your prayers, little darling?
Do you go to bed at night
Praying that tomorrow
Everything will be alright?
But tomorrow's fall in number
In number one by one
You wake up and you're dying
You don't even know what from
Well, they shot you point blank
You been shot in the back
Baby, point blank
You're a fool this time
Little girl, that's a fact
Right between the eyes
Baby, point blank
Right between the pretty lies that they tell
ย
Little girl, you fell
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked
But what they asked, baby, wasn't right
You didn't have to live that life
And I was gonna be your Romeo
You were gonna be my Juliet
These days, you don't wait on Romeos
You wait on that welfare check
And on all the pretty little things
That you can't ever have and on all the promises
That always end up point blank
Shot between the eyes
Oh-oh-oh, point blank
Like little white lies you tell to ease the pain
You're walking in the sights
Girl, point blank
And it's one false move and, baby, the lights go out
ย
Once I dreamed we were together again, baby, you and me
Back home in those old clubs, the way we used to be
We were standing at the bar and it was hard to hear
The band was playing loud, and you were shouting something in my ear
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor
You stood there and held me, then you started dancing slow
And as I pulled you tighter, I swore I'd never let you go
Well, I saw you last night down on the avenue
Your face was in the shadows, but I knew that it was you
You were standing in the doorway out of the rain
You didn't answer when I called out your name
You just turned and then you looked away
Like just another stranger waiting to get blown away
Point blank
Right between the eyes
Oh-oh, point blank
Right between the pretty lies you fell
Point blank
You've been shot straight through your heart
Yeah, point blank
You've been twisted up 'til you've become just another part of it
Point blank
You're walking in the sights
Point blank
Living one false move, just one false move away (point blank)
They caught you in their sights
Point blank
Did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight? (Point blank)
They must have shot you in the head
'Cause point blank
Bang bang, baby, you're dead
