Just Like Jesse James Lyrics
You're struttin' into town like your slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well alright
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all dowm 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
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 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, cause 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 drag your heart away
So Come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say
CHORUS
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, Come on
CHORUS
Im gonna shoot ya down Jesse James
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well alright
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all dowm 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
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
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, cause 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 drag your heart away
So Come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say
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, Come on

this song is so awesome...it's about a player getting played...she is the first woman who has ever made him fall in love.
I'd have to agree with jaxgrrl, awesome song. I too would have to say that I think its about a player "You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild Shoot 'em all dowm with the flash of your pearly smile Honey but you met your match tonight" especially makes me think so, reminds me of someone I liked and he ended up liking me but I lost my chance with him due to my stupidity (still one of the biggest regrets of my life.....), any way, she finally seems to win him over and knock him off of his feet.
I'm amused that Cher said she doesn't love this song and that she has trouble remembering the lyrics because there's so many words.
Oh Cher. :) This song is great. And inexplicably sexy, for some reason.

The loaded gun is, well you know that part of the male body which not always is loaded but this time it is.

What can Jessie "give" and what does she receives? Of course the "loaded gun", which is code for an erected penis.

i really dont like any of cher's music, but for some reason i've fallen in love with this song, i love her voice in it, it has really good lyrics, and such a great meaning, so if u dont like cher, give this song a chance anyways, it's really good!
I really really love this song..its kinda catchy aswell i cant get it outta my head...x Cher Rocks..x
Cher is a notorious coke head and Jesse James is a metaphor for her addiction.
A sexual interpretation of the song_
Meaning looking to have sex tonight.
The loaded gun is code for an erected penis.
What does Jessie gives to her? What does she takes? Sorry to say but I think it's code for penetration. Take into consideration this lines are immediately after she mentions the "loaded gun" (erected penis).
4.- "...Tonight you're gonna go down in flames.." She's saying he will have the sex of his life.
5.- "...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...
She's talking about having sex with him no matter what. The tied hands reference is a kinky idea.
6.- "....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..."
Well you know this one is easy while they are talking at the bar or whatever they meet, he's picturing her on the floor begin for more.
