[Verse 1]
How does it feel now you've been undressed
By a man with a mind like the gutter press
So disappointed to find it's no big sin
Lying skin to skin
[Chorus]
Shot with his own gun
Now dad is keeping mum
Shot with his own gun
[Post-Chorus 1]
Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away
[Verse 2]
What's on his mind now is anyone's guess
Losing his touch with each caress
Spending every evening looking so appealing
He comes without warning
Leaves without feeling
[Chorus]
Shot with his own gun
Now dad is keeping mum
Shot with his own gun
How does it feel now you've been undressed
By a man with a mind like the gutter press
So disappointed to find it's no big sin
Lying skin to skin
[Chorus]
Shot with his own gun
Now dad is keeping mum
Shot with his own gun
[Post-Chorus 1]
Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away
[Verse 2]
What's on his mind now is anyone's guess
Losing his touch with each caress
Spending every evening looking so appealing
He comes without warning
Leaves without feeling
[Chorus]
Shot with his own gun
Now dad is keeping mum
Shot with his own gun
