(Yow! One, two)
Out on the town, looking for a woman
Gonna give me good love
Anybody want to hang out with me?
And maybe burn me up?
She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like she’s something to sell
I said, baby what’s the going price?
She told me to go to hell
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain’t it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Singles bar, got my eye on a honey
Hanging out everywhere
She might be straight
She might want my money
I really don’t care, no
Said, baby, you’re driving me crazy
Laid it out on the line
When a guy with a chip on his shoulder said
Toss off buddy she’s mine
Oh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain’t it a shame, yea yeah
To be shot down in flames
Hey you Angus, shoot me, shoot
That’s nice, woo! Uh! Oh! Oh! Wooooh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain’t it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Oh
Shot
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain’t it a shame
To be shot down in flames
I don’t want to be in pain
Don’t want to be shot down in flames
Ohhh
