Meat Loaf
Jumpin' the Gun
Written by - P. Jacobs & S. Durkee
From - Bad Attitude
Heaven blesses those who wait
Patience is a virtue, son
Keep your toe on the line
Keep your foot on the brake
No sense jumpin' the gun

But girl I'm tired of waitin'
You know life's too short
Lemme kiss ya 'til the night is done
Ain't no doubt about it, you're my favorite sport
God I wanna jump the gun

Chorus:
Feel like jumpin' the gun
Tonight I'm gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin' some fun
How about jumpin' the gun

Chorus

Now they say it doesn't matter if ya win or lose
Only matters how ya play the game
Well, but let me tell ya baby, if I had to choose
Gotta win ya now or go insane

Chorus

Will ya hold me like a trophy
Will ya burn up the track
Will ya love me when the title's won
Blow away the competition
Baby, never look back, honey will ya jump the gun

Gonna hold ya like a trophy,
Gonna burn up the track
Gonna love ya when the title's won
They'll be eatin' up the dust
Baby, never look back
Tonight I'm gonna jump

Better get ready
Better get set girl...
This time we're jumpin' the gun

Ya think we're goin' too fast, ain't seen nothin' yet girl
This time we're jumpin' the gun

Ready take your mark, ooh I just can't wait...
This time we're jumpin' the gun

Ya gotta break a couple rules if ya wanna break the tape
This time we're jumpin' the gun

Chorus
