Another One Bites The Dust Lyrics – Queen

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm gonna get along,
Without you when your gone?
You took me for everything that i had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip,
to the sound of the beat, look out

Another one bites the dust
Another on bites the dust
Another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey
Oh take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust hey,
Hey, another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust oww
Another one bites the dust hey hey
Another one bites the dust hey yay ya ya ya
Ooh shoota!

There are many ways you can hurt a man and bring him to the ground,
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad,
And leave him when he's down yeah
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you,
I'm standing on my own two feet,
Out of the doorway the bullets rip,
Repeating to the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Shoota!
Yeah! Alright!
