Lyrics Shoot Me Down - John Michael Howell

Baby, am I sleepin'? 'Cause you look like a dream
That pickup line was stupid, but I'll try anything
'Cause tryna live without you hurts more than the sting
Of me bein' refused, so I'll just keep tryin'

I'm not afraid of "No," I'm afraid of no you
So darlin', if you got to

Shoot me down again
I'll just come back swingin' (Come back swingin')
Mama didn't raise a quitter, so tell me no forever
And I'll come back better (Come back better)
So shoot me down again, again, again
Shoot me down, shoot me down (Shoot me down again)

I don't mean to pressure or push you either way
So if it's no forever, just tell me to my face
I don't wanna play games, you're not a pawn to me
So please treat me the same way, no matter what it means

I'm not afraid of "No," I'm afraid of no you
So baby, if you got to

Shoot me down again
I'll just come back swingin' (Come back swingin')
Mama didn't raise a quitter, so tell me no forever
And I'll come back better (Come back better)
So shoot me down again, again, again
Shoot me down, shoot me down (Shoot me down again)

I'm not afraid of no, I'm just afraid of no you
So baby, if you really, really got to

Shoot me down again
I'll just come back swingin' (Come back swingin')
Mama didn't raise a quitter, so tell me no forever
And I'll come back better (Come back better)
So shoot me down a—gain, again, again
Shoot me down, shoot me down (Shoot me down)
Again, again, again
Shoot me down, shoot me down (Shoot me down again)
