Shot the Messenger

Lyrics

One day there was a knock on my door
I went and opened it wide
It was a messenger from you
I said, you’d better come inside.
But first take off your shoes,
Don’t bring that rain in here
He said I bring you more than rain
I’ve come to change your life I fear.

(Chorus) I said I’d try to understand
I said I’d try to understand
I Said I’d try to understand
But I shot the messenger then
I just shot the messenger then
Shot him through his heart
I shot the messenger then.
I shot him good style/ dead style

One day there was a knock on my door
I went and opened it slowly
It was a man who’d just been shot
He said it ain’t that easy.
He said you will love long
Her love is deep inside her
But sometimes lovers must be gone
And separate their lives sir.
