Hit Me With Your Best Shot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey!
Well, you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breakin' little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes and let's get down to it

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

[Verse 2]
You come on with your come on, you don't fight fair
That's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
Come on, hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
[Verse 3]
Well you're thе real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking littlе hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
Come on, hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

[Chorus]
Come on now, hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away, hey, hey!

[Outro]
Hey!
Fire away!
Come on, hit me!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
