I've been shot by love
And now me can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
Them call it love in the first degree
I've been shot by love
And now me can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
Them call it love in the first degree

Me say me
Full up a amuniition when me touch down
Love zone knock her down from innah the first round
The love ya realer than the Vatican own
She a the queen fi me African throne
No mercinary Taliban it control
Me a the one fi lock your body and soul
Jah set the plan me just a watch it unfold
You overstand that'a why me left it untold

I've been shot by love
And now me can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
Them call it love in the first degree
I've been shot by love
And now me can't get away

Them call it love in the first degree

Me say me shot you with me loving but your life ain't gona end
No need for running it's just the beginning
Aiming for the target the tranquilizer tame you
And Cupid him coulda never have dem aim ya
Now you really won't forget what true love feel like
Me loving touch your heart and knock you down in a real life
Love in the first degree you know say me do it right
And fill her up with the real type sleep tight

Dem say you can't escape it can't mistake it
When love knocks you down
Now my heart is yours unarmed and open
You took my barrier down
A shot without a sound
Me never see you coming
Like a stranger in the night
Me never see you coming

I've been shot by love
And now me can't run away
I've been shot in the heart
Them call it love in the first degree
I've been shot by love
And now me can't get away
I've been shot in the heart
Them call it love in the first degree
