Shot By Love

I've been hit by love
And now I can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree
I've been hit by love
And now I can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree

I say I'm
Loaded with ammunition when I touch down
Love zone knocked her down in the first round
This love is realer than the Vatican's own
She's the queen for my African throne
No mercenary Taliban in control
I'm the one to lock your body and soul
God set the plan, I'm just watching it unfold
You understand, that's why I left it untold

I've been hit by love
And now I can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree
I've been hit by love
And now I can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree

I say I shot you with my love, but your life ain't gonna end
No need for running, it's just the beginning
Aiming for the target, the tranquilizer tames you
And Cupid could never have aimed at you
Now you really won't forget what true love feels like
My loving touch your heart and knocks you down in real life
Love in the first degree, you know I do it right
And fill her up with the real type, sleep tight

I've been hit by love
And now I can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree
I've been hit by love
And now I can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree

They say you can't escape it, can't mistake it
When love knocks you down
Now my heart is yours, unarmed and open
You took my barriers down
A shot without a sound
I never saw you coming
Like a stranger in the night
I never saw you coming

I've been hit by love
And now I can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree
I've been hit by love
And now I can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
They call it love in the first degree
