Lay Down Your Guns Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

You picked me up when I was down with nothing
Gave me something, I can′t face the world without
You showed me just enough to fuel my fire
My desire, never wanna live without it

Both of us need something like we had before
We can't keep fighting like this anymore
This love affair is breaking my heart
(Pushin′, shovin', pushin', shovin′)

All the pushing, the shoving
You know that we ought to be loving
The lying, the cheating
We ought to be loving and squeezing

So baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Oh, baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down)


Remember days we thought would last forever
Nothing better but we let them slip away
In the end we make (the) bed we lie in
Let′s stop trying, what's the point in talking?

Never seem to make it
If we can′t get on together now
Take a chance, let's try a brand new start
(Pushin′, shovin', pushin′, shovin')

All the pushing, the shoving
You know that we ought to be loving
The lying, cheating
We ought to be loving and squeezing

So baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns) yeah

Here we go, alright

(Both) 'ver seem to make it better
If we can′t get on together
Take a chance, let′s try a brand new start (pushin', shovin′), savour the words
Yes, it is now (pushin', shovin′, pushin', shovin′)


The pushing, the shoving
You know that we ought to be loving
The lying, the cheating
We ought to be loving and squeezing

So baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Oh baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Said baby, come on (come on, come on)
Oh, baby, come on (come on, come on)
Oh, baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)

And surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Baby, come on (come on, lay down your guns)
Won't you lay down your guns? (Come on, lay down your guns)
