i shot my lover in the head

애인의 머리통을 날려버렸어

아, 죽진 않았어, 거의 죽을 뻔 했지만

침실 바닥에 피투성이로 누워있어

옆집 사람이 문을 두드리며 물었어

'총소리 못 들었어요?'

난 '아뇨'라고 대답했지만 내가 거짓말장이란 건 다들 알아

그들이 911에 전화하겠다고 외쳤어

난 말했어 '그럼 총을 숨겨야겠네요'

내가 왜 그랬지? 대체 왜 그런 짓을 저지른 걸까?

내가 왜 그랬지? 어쩌다 이렇게 된 거지?

자수해서 정당방위라고 하면 믿어줄까? 그건 나라도 안 믿겠다

그러게 그는 왜 도망을 쳐서 일을 이 지경으로 만든거야

애인의 머리통을 날려버렸어

침대에서 다른 여자랑 뒹굴고 있더군

나를 봤을 때 그의 표정을 당신도 봤어야 하는데

숨겨뒀던 총을 꺼내 들고

여자는 보내줬어, 꼴이 가관이더군

아무튼, 그 여자가 아니라 남자한테 볼 일이 있는 거니까

사내놈이 무릎꿇고 손을 싹싹 빌며

미안해, 자기, 이쁜아, 미안해, 하던 꼴이라니

내가 왜 그랬지? 대체 왜 그런 짓을 저지른 걸까?

내가 왜 그랬지? 어쩌다 이렇게 된 거지?

자수해서 정당방위라고 하면 믿어줄까? 그건 나라도 안 믿겠다

그러게 그는 왜 도망을 쳐서 일을 이 지경으로 만든거야

이 나라를 떠서 터키나 멕시코로 망명해야 할까봐

아무튼 그도 내게서 떠났을 때 

일이 이렇게 되리란 걸 알았을 거야

Couplet 1:

I shot my lover in head

Didn't kill him but he's almost dead

Now he's bleeding on the bedroom floor

Got the neighbor's knockin' at the door

They said "Did you hear a gun fire?"

Said "No," but they know I'm a liar

They said they're callin' 911 

I said "Gotta hide my gun".

Chorus:

Why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? Oh, why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? (x2)

If I turn myself in could I claim it was in self-defense? I don't think so

He had it coming with all of his running around

Couplet 2:

I shot my lover in the head

Found him with another woman in bed

You should've seen the look on his face

I took the gun from the hiding place

I let her go - she was a disaster

After all, it was him I was after

He fell on his hands and knees

Begged I'm sorry, pretty, pretty please

Why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? Oh, why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? (x2)

If I turn myself in could I claim it was in self-defense? I don't think so

He had it coming with all of his running around (x2)

Should I flee the country and be a refugee

In Turkey, or Mexico?

He had it coming with all of his running around

I shot my lover in head

Didn't kill him but he's almost dead

Now he's bleeding on the bedroom floor

Got the neighbor's knockin' at the door

They said "Did you hear a gun fire?"

Said "No," but they know I'm a liar

They said they're callin' 911 

I said "Gotta hide my gun".

Why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? Oh, why did I do it? Why'd I go and do it? (x2)

If I turn myself in could I claim it was in self-defense? I don't think so

He had it coming with all of his running around (x4)

'Cause he had it coming with all of his running around.
