Lyrics

Bob Dylan

 

Man thinks ’cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please

And if things don’t change soon, he will

Oh, man has invented his doom

First step was touching the moon

 

Now, there’s a woman on my block

She just sit there as the night grows still

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?

 

Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life

And they set him on a path where he’s bound to get ill

Then they bury him with stars

Sell his body like they do used cars

 

Now, there’s a woman on my block

She just sit there facin’ the hill

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?

 

Now, he’s hell-bent for destruction, he’s afraid and confused

And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

All he believes are his eyes

And his eyes, they just tell him lies

 

But there’s a woman on my block

Sitting there in a cold chill

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?

 

Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker

Heartbreaker, backbreaker

Leave no stone unturned

May be an actor in a plot

That might be all that you got

’Til your error you clearly learn

 

Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool

And when he sees his reflection, he’s fulfilled

Oh, man is opposed to fair play

He wants it all and he wants it his way

 

Now, there’s a woman on my block

She just sit there as the night grows still

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?

Lyrics

Gladys Knight

 

 

Ooooh

Oh-hooo

I feel, I've got to hold on to your love

Oooh.

 

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

 

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

Anyone who tries to tear us apart.

Got a license to kill

 

Got a license to kill to kill

And you know I'm heading straight for your heart.

Got a license to kill

Got a license 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

Ooohooo!
