  • One, two, three, four
    Ooh-ee-ooh, ah
    Ooh-ee-ooh

    So sweet, I give you kisses in the backseat
    I whisper secrets in the backbeat
    You make me cry, you make me happy, happy (happy)
    Leave my lipstick on the cigarette
    Just toss it and you stomp it out, oh, oh
    Inhalin' whiskey when you kiss my neck
    We been hurtin', but it's happy hour, oh, hour, ooh

    They couldn't have me
    And they never will
    And sometimes I hold you closer
    Just to know you're real
    Wheels in the gravel
    Davis in my bones
    Sometimes I take a day off
    Just to turn you on, on, on, ooh

    Honey, honey
    I could be your bodyguard (hey)
    Oh, honey, honey
    I could be your Kevlar (uh)
    Oh, honey, honey
    I could be your lifeguard (hey)
    Ooh, honey, honey
    You should let me ride shotgun, shotgun, oh-oh-oh

    Be your best friend
    I'll protect you in the moshpit
    And I'll defend you in the gossip
    You know how people like to start shit
    And pop shit
    I don't like the way she's lookin' at you
    Someone better hold me back, oh-oh
    Chargin' ten for a double and I'm talkin'
    I'm 'bout to lose it
    Turn around and John Wayne that ass (one, two, three, four)

    They couldn't catch you (with me)
    And they never will (you see)
    Sometimes I hold you closer
    Just to know you're real (ah)
    Tell me your problems (I got you)
    I take how you feel (huh)
    I show you an exit when you're restless
    I take the wheel, ooh, oh, oh

    Honey, honey
    You could be my bodyguard (hey)
    Uh, oh, honey, honey
    Will you let me ride shotgun, shotgun? Oh-oh-oh

    Oh
    Oh, whoa
    Oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh, ooh

    I could be your bodyguard
    Please let me be your Kevlar, huh
    Baby, let me be your lifeguard
    Would you let me ride shotgun, shotgun? Oh-oh-oh
