You say you love me
Why do you always do me down, down, down?
I hit rock bottom
You gave me up without a sound, sound, sound

But now I’m back in town
And feeling mighty fit
I’m sick and tired of eating
All your chicken shit

So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I’m found, found, found

I was a rising star
You hitched your wagon next to mine, mine, mine
The sun was shining bright
I guess I never read the sign, sign, sign

Right at the moment that you saw my hand first slip
Just like a dirty rat you jumped the sinking ship

So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I’m found, found, found

You find me in the palace
You find me on the street
You find me back in church
Right in my favourite seat

Now you’re a notch on my gun
Now you’re a notch on my gun

Who are you
To shoot off your mouth?

Wild-eyed and crazy
I always threw my cash around, round, round
You put the boot in
Until the bottom fell right out, out, out

I turned around, you smell
Like Monday morning’s fish
I can’t get near enough
To take a goodbye kiss

So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I’m found, found, found

Uh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh

You found me in the movies
Right on the TV screen
Keep on searching for me
And you will hear me scream

Now you’re a notch on my gun
Now you’re a notch on my gun

Who are you
To shoot off your mouth?
Shoot off your mouth?

But now I’m back in town
And feeling mighty fit
I’m sick and tired of eating
All your chicken shit

So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I’m found, found, found

Uh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh

You find me in the palace
You find me on the street
You find me back in church
Right in my favourite seat

 Who are you
To shoot off your mouth?
And shoot off your mouth?
And shoot off your mouth?
And shoot off your -
 
Don’t shoot, don’t shoot
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot
Don’t shoot, don’t shoot
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot
Don’t shoot, don’t shoot
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot
