Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, 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 it, come on, you don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
[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 3]
Well, you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little 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]
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
