Don't Play With Guns Lyrics

Now Josephine, she was a loner
Her fortune of incredible lies
Her problems are now your problems
I hide a gun until the day she dies

She said don't play with guns
Don't play with guns
Don't play with guns
Don't play with guns

Now Angie, she was a demon
She had six arms and Lucifer eyes
She always had its glow
And always made me flow

Don't play with guns
Don't play with guns
She said don't play with guns
Don't play with guns

This promise, love and all things go
From my love
She said please be kind and
Please be brave and kill for fun

Don't play with guns
Don't play with guns
She said don't play with guns
Don't play with guns

She lays down with a revolver
She's so cold, my heat evolved her

Don't play with guns
Don't play with guns
She said don't play with guns
Don't play with guns

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's pretty clearly about hired guns and not playing around with them. It even mentions a hired gun explicitly.

I think it's more than just a song about hired guns. I hear it more as a song about bad girls. Girls out of his league. Everyone knows one, the type of girl who knows how to get into and out of trouble. The warning about guns isn't actually saying, be careful with guns it's saying, don't play with me, I'm dangerous.
