Off the cuff’s where I’m shooting
And I’m negligent in spades
With misdirection there’s commotion
Turn another phrase
Blank spaces in the waiting
Introduce things on the way
To ask and to define
When I shoot it all the time
Caress me down and wrest me down
If somebody loved, somebody cared
Caress me now for a careless crown
‘Cause you know that I’m shooting
I shoot it all the time
I shoot it all the time
I shoot it all
I shoot it all the time
You’re messing with the options
As I say goodbye to mine
Can I feel when it strays
Still in good time
Pulling out is the worry
And giving feet another chance
Break a minute into seconds
Rethink this stand
Caress me down and turn it around when you know that I could have
If somebody loved, somebody cared
Caress me now for playing the crowd
‘Cause you know that I’m shooting
I shoot it all the time
I shoot it all the time
Caress me now for a careless crown
‘Cause you know how I’d do it
If somebody loved, somebody cared
Caress me now for playing the crowd
‘Cause you know that I’m shooting
I shoot it all the time
I shoot it all the time
