Shoot Me Down

You said I met you at your worst

But I knew it from the first

I needed you

And you were sweeter too

Sweeter than those other guys before

You said that it's not me, it's you

There's nothing more that I could do

And I hated you

And I'm jaded too

You're just like all those other guys before

I just wanna make it right

I just wanna hold you tight tonight

And I don't wanna talk about it anymore

Don't shoot me down with gold

I'll be the life of the round, oh

Don't shoot me down

I just want you around

You said that you made a mistake

And I thought I had no heart to break

But I was wrong

I'm not that strong

I wish I'd never tried to make you stay

I just wanna make it right

I just wanna hold you tight tonight

And I don't wanna talk about it anymore

Don't shoot me down with gold

I'll be the life of the round, oh

Don't shoot me down

I just want you around

Standing on the corner

In the middle of the night

I watched you walk away

And disappear out of sight

I just wanna make it right

I just wanna hold you tight tonight

And I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I just wanna make it right

I just wanna hold you tight tonight

And I don't wanna be without you anymore

Don't shoot me down with gold

I'll be the life of the round, oh

Don't shoot me down

I just want you around
