  • You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun
    Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
    Honey are you lookin' for some trouble tonight
    Well alright

    You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
    Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile
    Honey but you met your match tonight
    Oh, that's right

    You think you'll knock me off my feet
    'Til I'm flat on the floor
    'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm begin' for more
    So come on baby
    Come on baby
    Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

    If you can give it
    I can take it
    'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
    I know tonight
    Somebody's gonna win the fight
    So if you're so tough
    Come on and prove it

    Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
    Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
    Just like Jesse James

    You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
    Well you ain't so strong, won't be long 'til your hands are tied
    Tonight I'm gonna take you in
    Dead or Alive
    That's right

    You break the laws of love in the name of desire
    Take ten steps back
    'Cause I'm ready baby
    Aim and fire
    Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight
    Ooh That's right

    Well you've had your way with love but it's the end of the day
    Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away

    So come on baby
    Come on baby

    Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say

    If you can give it
    I can take it
    'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
    I know tonight
    Somebody's gonna win the fight
    So if you're so tough
    Come on and prove it

    Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
    Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
    Just like Jesse James

    You think you'll knock me off my feet
    'til I'm flat on the floor
    'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm begin' for more
    So come on baby
    Come on baby
    Come on baby
    Come on

    If you can give it
    I can take it
    'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it

    I know tonight
    Somebody's gonna win the fight
    So if you're so tough
    Come on and prove it
    Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
    Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
    Just like Jesse James
    Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
    Just like Jesse James
    Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
    Just like Jesse James

    I'm gonna shoot ya down Jesse James Writer/s: Desmond Child, Diane Eve Warren
