CAUSE TO SHOOT

The pretty little neighbor girl 

Was outside with a gun

slamming it against her car

Wasn't having any fun

I asked, hey can I help you

Before someone gets hurt

She said, I hope you didn't know Roy

Cause you didn't say a word

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I said,  girl you need some bullets

If you want to use that gun

And when a car is out of gas

You can't think it's gonna run

All men need some loving

If they're going to function too

Sure glad you're out of bullets

Need to think before you shoot

~~*~~

She screamed at me, like a wild banshee

I checked myself for holes

Said you won't be an accomplice Roy

Cause I won't tell a soul

Help me load this gun, get the car to run

And don't try any stunts

When you cheat, you bleed, now help me please

Cause I've got a man to hunt

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

I said,  I won't give you bullets

So that you can use that gun

I'm glad your car is out of gas

So he has the chance to run

All men aren't like your man

Girl, I promise, it's the truth

Sure glad you're out of bullets

Need to think before you shoot

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

Her boyfriend didn't make it home

I phoned and said boy run

She found her sense of self control

And she gave me the gun

For twenty years 

We've laughed through tears

At what she'd set out to do

If you're worried bout your safety

Never give a cause to shoot
