License To Kill Lyrics
Gladys Knight
Lyrics
Ooh, oh, hoo
I feel, I've got to hold on to your love, ooh
Hey baby, thought you were the one who tried to run away
Ohh, baby, wasn't I the one who made you want to you?
Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me
Once I get my sights on you
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart
(Got a license to kill)
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart
(Got a license to kill)
License to kill
Hey baby, think you need a friend
To stand here by your side?
Yes you do
(Your side)
Ohh, baby, now you can depend on me
To make things right
(Things right)
Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me
Once I get my sights on you
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart
(Got a license to kill)
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart
(Got a license to kill)
License to kill
Say that somebody tries to make a move on you
In the blink of an eye, I will be there too
And they better know why I'm gonna make them 'em pay
Till their dying day, till their dying day, till their dying day
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart
(Got a license to kill)
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart
(Got a license to kill)
License to kill
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart
(Got a license to kill)
Got a license to kill
(To kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart
(Got a license to kill)
License to kill
Gotta hold onto your loving
License to kill
Ooh
