Showdown Lyrics

I never in my life met a girl so low
Sneakin' out the back door of my house below
The fog is creepin' in and the moon is full
I do believe she find what she's lookin' for
And you know there's gonna be
Showdown
You better get ready
Showdown
I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Showdown
Put your cards on the table
We're heading for the showdown tonight

That little girl treat me so mean
Wicked like the devil in tight blue jeans
Here I sit with my head hung low
Waiting for the woman come through that door

Showdown
You better get ready
Showdown
I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Showdown
Put your cards on the table
We're heading for the showdown tonight

It won't be easy
Showdown
I said it won't be nice
Showdown
So you better get ready
Get ready for the showdown

Easy come and easy go
It used to work for me
But not any more
If she wants to spend her time with me
She better know what lovin's for

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
