Do you go to bed at night prayin’ that tomorrow everything will be alright? But tomorrows fall in number, in number one by one. You wake up and youre dyin’. You dont even know what from. Well, they shot you point blank. You been shot in the back. Baby, point blank. You been fooled this time. Little girl, thats a fact. Right between the eyes. Baby, point blank. Right between the pretty lies that they tell. 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 wasnt right. You didnt have to live that life. I was gonna be your Romeo, you were gonna be my Juliet. These days you dont wait on Romeos, you wait on that welfare check. And on all the pretty little things that you cant ever have, and on all the promises that always end up point blank, shot between the eyes. Whoa, point blank. Like little white lies you tell to ease the pain. Youre walkin’ in the sights girl, of point blank. And its one false move, and baby, the lights go out. 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 just stood there and held me and you started dancin’ slow. And as I pulled you tighter, I swore Id never let you go. Well I saw you last night down on the avenue. Your face was in the shadows, but I knew that was you. You were standing in the doorway out of the rain. You didnt answer when I called out your name. You just turned, and then you looked away. Like just another stranger, waitin’ to get blown away. Point blank, right between the eyes. Whoa, point blank, right between the pretty lies, you fell. Point blank, you been shot straight through the heart. Yeah point blank. Youve been twisted up till youve become just another part of it. Point blank, youre walking in the sights. Point blank, livin’ one false move, just one false move away. They caught you in their sights. Point blank. Did you forget how to love? Girl, did you forget how to fight? They must have shot you in the head cause point blank, bang bang, baby youre dead.”
