Shooting Me Softly
Sung by Sherlock to the tune of "Killing Me Softly."
Stealing my John with her wiles
Marrying him on a ruse
Shooting me softly with her gun
Silencer on it, on her gun
Taking my whole life with no noise
Shooting me softly with her gun
I said it wasn't murder
That it was surgery
I tried to make excuses —
I didn't want to see
That she was an assassin
And she was killing me
Stealing my John with her wiles
Marrying him on a ruse
Shooting me softly with her gun
Silencer on it, on her gun
Taking my whole life with no noise
Shooting me softly with her gun
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by my lack
Of accurate deductions
About Mary's attack
I prayed that I could find it —
A way to win John back
Giving myself to his fingers
Giving myself to his lips
Touching him softly with my hands
Touching him softly with my hands
Giving my whole heart to his care
Touching him softly with my hands
And finally John realized
Through all his dark despair
Whenever he had need of me
I would be there
And we should always be
Together as a pair
Now he's stroking my hair with his fingers
Kissing my throat with his lips
Touching me softly with his hands
Touching me softly with his hands
Drawing it out until I come
Touching me softly…
