Jumpin’ the Gun Songtext
von Meat Loaf

Heaven blesses those who wait
Patience is a virtue, son
Keep your toe on the line, keep your foot on the brake
No sense jumpin′ the gun

But girl, I'm tired of waitin′, you know life's too short
Let me kiss you 'til the night is done
Ain′t no doubt about it, you′re my favorite sport
God, I wanna jump the gun

Feel like jumpin' the gun
Tonight I′m gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin' some fun
How about jumpin′ the gun?

Feel like jumpin' the gun
Tonight I′m gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin' some fun
How about jumpin' the gun?


Now they say it doesn′t matter if you win or lose
Only matters how you play the game
Well, but let me tell you honey, if I had to choose
Gonna win you now, or go insane

Feel like jumpin′ the gun
Tonight I'm gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin′ some fun
How about jumpin' the gun?

Will you hold me like a trophy? Will you burn up the track?
Will you love me when the title′s won?
Blow away the competition, babe, I never look back
Honey, when you jump the gun

Gonna hold you like a trophy, gonna burn up the track
Gonna love you when the title's won
They′ll be eatin' up the dust, baby, never look back
Tonight, I'm gonna jump...

Just jump! Do it!
Jump! Do it!


Better get ready, better get set, girl
This time we′re jumpin′ the gun
You think we're goin′ too fast? Ain't seen nothin′ yet, girl
This time we're jumpin′ the gun
Ready, take your mark, ooh! I just can't wait
This time we're jumpin′ the gun
You gotta break a couple rules if you wanna break the tape, yeah
This time we′re jumpin' the gun

Feel like jumpin′ the gun
Tonight we're gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin′ some fun
How about jumpin' the gun?

Feel like jumpin′ the gun
Tonight we're gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin' some fun, boy
How about jumpin′ the gun

Feel like jumpin′ the gun
Tonight we're gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin′ some fun
How about jumpin' the gun

Feel like jumpin′ the gun
Tonight we're gonna jump the gun
