Just Like Jesse James Lyrics By Cher

    struttin’ into town like you’re slingin’ a gun
    just a small town dude with a big city attitude
    honey are you lookin’ for some trouble tonight well alright
    you think you’re so bad drive the women folk wild
    shoot ’em all down with the flash of your pearly smile
    honey but you met your match tonight oh that’s right
    you think you’ll knock me off my feet ’till i’m flat on the floor
    ’till my heart is crying indian and i’m beggin’ for more
    so come on baby come on baby
    come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

    if you can give it i can take it
    ’cause if this heart is gonna break
    it’s gonna take a lot to break it
    ’cause i know tonight
    somebody’s gonna win the fight
    so if you’re so tough
    come on and prove it
    your heart is down for the count
    and you know you’re gonna lose it
    tonight you’re gonna go down in flames
    just like jesse james

    you’re an outlaw lover and i’m after your hide
    well you ain’t so strong
    won’t be long ’till your hands are tied
    tonight i’m gonna take you in dead or alive that’s right
    you break the laws of love in the name of desire
    take ten steps back c’ause i’m ready baby aim and fire
    baby there’s no way you’re gonna run tonight
    ooh that’s right
    well you’ve had your way with love
    but it’s the end of the day
    now a team of wild horses couldn’t break your heart away
    so come on baby come on baby
    come on baby you know there ain’t nothing left to say

    if you can give it i can take it
    ’cause if this heart is gonna break
    it’s gonna take a lot to break it
    i know tonight
    somebody’s gonna win the fight
    so if you’re so tough
    come on and prove it
    your heart is down for the count
    and you know you’re gonna lose it
    tonight you’re gonna go down in flames
    just like jesse james

    you think you’ll knock me off my feet
    ’til i’m flat on the floor
    ’til my heart is crying indian and i’m beggin’ for more
    so come on baby come on baby
    come on baby come on

    if you can give it i can take it
    ’cause if this heart is gonna break
    it’s gonna take a lot to break it
    i know tonight
    somebody’s gonna win the fight
    so if you’re so tough
    come on and prove it
    your heart is down for the count
    and you know you’re gonna lose it
    tonight you’re gonna go down in flames
    just like jesse james
    tonight you’re gonna go down in flames
    just like jesse james
    tonight you’re gonna go down in flames
    just like jesse james
    i’m gonna shoot you down jesse james
