Revolver Lyrics

[Intro: Madonna]
My love's a revolver, revolver, revolver...
My love's a revolver, revolver, revolver...

[Verse 1: Madonna]
Oops, I guess I'll shot ya
My finger's on the trigger
I had a bullet with your name on it
Click-click
I'm a sex pistol
My love should be illegal
Real deal, baby
I'm no counterfeit
Click-click

[Pre-Chorus: Madonna]
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks could kill
Ay-oh-ee-oh
My body's fully loaded
And I've got more ammo
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks could kill
Ay-oh-ee-oh
You're an accessory to murder, 'cause

See Madonna Live

Get tickets as low as $403

[Chorus: Madonna]
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
I let it bang bang

[Verse 2: Madonna]
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
A bad girl, I gotcha crying to your mumma
Saying "I can't believe it" (I can't believe it)
I've seen your type, bring a knife into a gun fight
Caught up in the law right
I think I'm in love and I

[Pre-Chorus: Madonna]
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks could kill
Ay-oh-ee-oh
My body's fully loaded
And I've got more ammo
Line 'em up
Knock 'em down
If looks could kill
Ay-oh-ee-oh
You're an accessory to murder, 'cause

[Chorus: Madonna]
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
I let it bang bang

[Post-Chorus: Madonna]
I let it bang bang
I shoot 'em bang bang
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
I shoot 'em bang bang
I shoot 'em bang bang
I line 'em up and watch them fall

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Bang
Tha shooting name is Wayne
The victim didn't complain, she just screamed "shoot again"
I gave her extra rounds, my barrel twist around
I am Mr. shoot 'em down, I leave hearts on tha ground
My love is a weapon, and yes I use it well
Then I let the rose petals cover up the bullet shells
I never shoot and tell, I only shoot to kill
And the vest ain't gonna help it even if it's made of steel

[Chorus: Madonna, Madonna & Lil Wayne]
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?

My love's a revolver (Yeah)
My sex is a killer (Yeah)
Do you wanna die happy? (Yeah)
Do you wanna die happy? (Yeah)

My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
I let it bang bang

[Post-Chorus: Madonna & Lil Wayne, Madonna, Lil Wayne]
I let it bang bang
I shoot 'em bang bang
I line 'em up and watch them fall
Hey, I shoot 'em bang bang
I shoot 'em bang bang
I line 'em up and watch them fall

[Outro: Lil Wayne]
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy? Yeah

What have the producers said about the song?

Producer and co-writer of “Revolver” DJ Frank E:

Talk about stress. It felt like I was about to meet the President or something. I got to the session 2 hours beforehand to set up and give the files to the engineer, and I can’t remember a longer 2 hours of my life. It was like a countdown. Every 5 minutes I’d get an update on her status. I received updates up to the last 15 seconds, when she finally walked into the room. She said, “So YOU’RE the one?” and I politely answered, “No… YOU’RE the one.” We got along great after that, and finished the song (Madonna ft. Lil Wayne – ‘Revolver’) on my 2nd day with her. I will never forget the feeling of leaving that session after vocal producing Madonna, and thinking to myself, “It can’t it really get any harder than this.” I’ve taken that mentality into every other session I’ve been in, and it’s helped me make the session and song more of a success. Unfortunately, the mix sounded like crap and the song flopped, but hey, you win some and you lose some.
