I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have your loving arms around me
On a starry night

Oh but, I got tired of dreaming
'Cause dreaming is nothing to do
I got tired of dreaming
About you

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights
I'm gonna love you tonight

My guns are loaded
They're pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have you lying there beside me
All through the night

Oh but, I got tired of dreaming
'Cause dreaming is nothing to do
And I got tired of dreaming
About you

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights
I'm gonna love you tonight

My guns are loaded
They're pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights
I'm gonna love you tonight

My guns are loaded
They're pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on 8 June 1951) is a Welsh singer. Her first hit single, "Lost In France", reached the UK Top 10 in 1976 and she was nominated for Best British Female Newcomer at the 1977 Brit Awards. Soon after, Tyler underwent an operation to remove nodules from her vocal cords which left her with a distinctively husky voice. However, this did not affect her career and her 1977 single "It's a Heartache" became a hit in both Europe and North America. more »
