Well he ran around
Late at night
Holding hands
Making light
Of everything that came before
But there she was behind the door
She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same
There's nothing worse
In this world
Than pay-back from a
A jealous girl
The laws of man, they don't apply
When blood gets in a woman's eye
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Oh she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same, same
Stars did fall
Thunder rolled
Bugs crawled back
In their holes
The couple screamed, but it was far too late
Her jealous heart did retaliate
She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same
Oh the same
All the same
Never been the same
Late at night
Holding hands
Making light
Of everything that came before
But there she was behind the door
She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same
There's nothing worse
In this world
Than pay-back from a
A jealous girl
The laws of man, they don't apply
When blood gets in a woman's eye
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Oh she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same, same
Stars did fall
Thunder rolled
Bugs crawled back
In their holes
The couple screamed, but it was far too late
Her jealous heart did retaliate
She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same
Oh the same
All the same
Never been the same

I love this song because I definitely found out about my ex partner's cheap married skank. My "ten cent pistol" was spilling the beans to her husband's mother (mother-in-law) about the affair. And it only came down to this because they live in another state otherwise there would've been more damage...
It's true:
"The laws of man, they don't apply When blood gets in a woman's eye"
suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
@blueberryheart Hmmhmmhmm yes unfortunately very true. Be careful kids and remember if you poison someone because they wronged you "you" poison your spirit.. forever. So please be smart kick them in the balls, tell their mom they rapped you. anything just don't destroy their body, mind or spirit.<br /> <br /> Mad love to you all.
