🎵 Hit Me with Your Best Shot // by Pat Benatar

30 Contributors Hit Me with Your Best Shot Lyrics Pat Benatar’s 1980 first top 10 single, achieving Gold record status. A direct challenge to a hurtful lover, without any hint of self depreciation. A true feminist statement. [Intro] [Verse 1] 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 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 [Guitar Solo] [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 C'mon, 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
