Lyrics[]

I feel, I've got to hold on to your love,
Hey baby, thought you were the one who tried to run away,
ohh, baby, wasn't I the one who made you want to stay?
please don't bet that you'll ever escape me,
once I get my sights on you.

Got a license to kill,
and you know I'm going straight for your heart,
got a license to kill,
anyone who tries to tear us apart,
license to kill.

Hey baby, think you need a friend to stand here by your side?
yes you do,
ohh, baby, now you can depend on me to make things right,
please don't bet that you'll ever escape me,
once I get my sights on you.

Got a license to kill,
and you know I'm going straight for your heart,
got a license to kill,
anyone who tries to tear us apart.

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,
and you know I'm going straight for your heart, baby,
got a license to kill,
anyone who tries to tear us apart.

Got a license to kill,
and you know I'm heading straight for your heart,
got a license to kill,
anyone who tries to tear us apart.

License to kill,
gotta hold onto your loving,
license to kill,
ooh, kill.
