Lyrics
Baby, you're my Bugsy Malone,
And I'm your suicide blonde,
You could be film noir star,
I be Queen of Saigon.
If they don't think we're,
Good together, baby,
Just forget 'em, and let,
Bygones be bygone.
Baby, I can't go it alone,
'Cause you're the one that I want,
You can be my Tony Montana,
And I can be your Pfeifer fire.
I can take you higher,
I can get you hooked,
On love and desire.
Hello, pretty baby,
You can be my cherry pie,
I know what you've done,
And I can be your alibi.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
Are you gonna be my lover?
Are we gonna be true love suicide?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, just for fun, (eh)!
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, one by one, (eh)!
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
(Eh)! Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
(Eh)! It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
Baby, you Sylvester Stallone,
And I could be your Adrian,
With under lips I got you in the ring,
To say my name again, say my name again,
Say my name again, (huh).
Baby, I can't go it alone,
'Cause you're the one that I want,
You can be my Tommy Mottola,
And I can be your Mariah, tiger,
Scream a little higher, I can,
Get you high on love and desire.
I'd sense Bonnie and Clyde,
These two kids so good at being,
Bad, bad, bad.
I'm flirtin' with the checkout counter,
Baby, put the money in the bag.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
Are you gonna be my lover?
Are we gonna be true love suicide?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, just for fun, (eh)!
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, one by one, (eh)!
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
(Eh)! Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
(Eh)! It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
Would you kill for me?
Would you die for me?
Put your hands where I can,
See them, put them in the air.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
Are you gonna be my lover?
Are we gonna be true love suicide?
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, just for fun, (eh)!
I be murderin' 'em, murderin',
'Em, one by one, (eh)!
It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
So tonight are you gonna be my soldier?
(Eh)! Are we gonna be Bonie and Clyde?
(Eh)! It's either live or die, boy,
It's either live or die.
