Guns For Hire Lyrics

The word is out
That I'm about
And I've come gunning for you
I'm a real entertainer
A mischief maker
A lover of no fixed abode
Quick draw on the floor
No law give you more
Sweet talker, lover of sin
You are what you got
You get what you want
Look out woman -

CHORUS:
I got guns for hire
Shoot you with desire
This guns for hire
Shoot you with desire

I'm a wanted poster
A needed man
Running right across the land
I'm a smooth operator
A big dictator
Gonna mark you with my brand

CHORUS:
My gun's for hire
Shoot you with desire
This gun's for hire
Shoot you with desire

Quick draw on the floor, big shot

Hot to trot, big shot
Take a lot
Never get the drop on me
I'm a real entertainer
Mischief maker
Lover in seven languages

CHORUS:
My gun's for hire
Shoot you with desire
This gun's for hire
Shoot you with desire

Shoot you with desire
Shoot you with desire
A gun's for hire
Shoot you with desire

What you get, but shot
You can't get the drop on me, girl

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.

He's putting up his 'bedroom services' for 'hire'. Self explanatory, but it sounds awesome!

I first heard this song when this album was first released and didn't quite get all the subtleties.. (as subtle as a jackhammer).. Now, at age 49, it's clear that every line is a double entendre about renting out his package and delivering the goods..

"I'm a smooth operator, a big dic-tator, gonna mark you with my brand.. I got guns for hire, shoot you with desire.."

Hehe, never change guys..
