Cher - Just Like Jesse James Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 'till I'm flat on the floor
'Till my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin' for more
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, show me what that loaded gun is for

[Chorus]
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
'Cause 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

[Verse 2]
You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well, you ain't so strong
Won't be long 'till 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, c'ause I'm ready, baby, aim and fire
Baby, there's no way you're 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 break your heart away
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, you know there ain't nothing left to say

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
You think you'll knock me off my feet
'Til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin' for more
So come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, come on

[Chorus]
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 you down, Jesse James
