Young Guns (Go for It!) Lyrics
Hey sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)
Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile,
When I saw that girl upon your arm,
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.
I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!
Hey sucker,
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker!
(Now there's nothing you can do.)
A married man? you're out of your head
Sleepless nights, on an H.P. bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If your happy with a nappy then you're in for fun.
But you're here
And you're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhere
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this young gun says CAUTION PAYS!
[Chorus:
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!]
I remember when he such fun and everthing was fine,
I remember when we use to have a good time,
Partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away,
Tell me that you're happy now,
Turning my back
Nothing to say!
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, we got things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,
Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"
OoooooH!
GET BACK
HANDS OFF
GO FOR IT!
[Chorus]
Meaning of Young Guns (Go for It!)
“Young Guns” is a playfully cynical observation delivered by Wham!, urging listeners to resist the allure of romantic commitment. The song’s theme centers around a “young gun,” a carefree, possibly reckless individual, observing the pitfalls of love and marriage with amusement and warning. George, embodying this persona, witnesses a friend falling for a woman and laments the potential loss of freedom and excitement associated with settling down – literally declaring “Death by matrimony!” The lyrics highlight the frustrating constraints of domestic life, from sleepless nights to early fatherhood, delivered with a sardonic tone. Despite recognizing the potential happiness marriage could bring, George ultimately prioritizes his single status, expressing a desire for “no tears, no fears.” The chorus reinforces this message with a frantic call to caution, urging listeners to avoid "death by matrimony" and maintain their youthful exuberance, capturing a feeling of detached amusement and a celebration of independence.
