[Verse 1]

I was never born to make a hit

But this pilot light is stayin’ lit

And if I’m broke then trade me in

But I’m gon’ look if you gon’ shake your hips

But I would never hit and run

You’re more than just some lips and tongue

It’s so electric the way she takes the eel

She says “let’s make a deal and name him Theo”

[Chorus]

If we get there too slow, we’ll forget where we’re goin’, so let’s get in motion

If we get there too slow, wе’ll forget where wе’re goin’, so let’s get it pulsin’

Gentle, killin’ you softly I’ll be gentle now, but I’m a killa, a hitman

[Verse 2]

So now I’m up, up, up to bat

You ain’t seen anyone hit home runs like that

The crowd’s standin’ up to clap

We won the game, we celebrate, get drunk and dance

But I would never hit and run

Swagger to home plate just for love

I know she must’ve been lookin’

The way she let me put it in the oven and cook it

[Chorus]

If we get there too slow, we’ll forget where we’re goin’, so let’s get in motion

If we get there too slow, we’ll forget where we’re goin’, so let’s get it pulsin’

Gentle, killin’ you softly I’ll be gentle now, but I’m a killa, a hitman

[Bridge]

I would never hit you, just it

[Verse 3]

I was never born to make a hit

I just acquired a taste for it

And then I changed my name to this, (this, this)

But it’s more than an alias

And I would never hit and run

You’re more than just some lips and tongue

It’s so K-9 the way she let’s me ride

Now gimme some more of that exercise
