Lyrics

Showdown

[Intro]

Showdown (show, showdown)

Showdown (showdown)

Showdown (showdown)

[Verse 1]

You got me spinning

Falling apart, playing games with my heart

I keep on giving

Girl, why'd you always let me down

You drive me crazy

Take me right through the edge

I need all my friends

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm at the breaking point

Between you and me

There's gonna be a...

[Chorus]

Showdown (showdown)

Which one of us will you choose

There's gotta be a showdown (showdown)

Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose

[Post-Chorus]

Oo-ooh

[Verse 2]

You've been misleading

Living a lie, living two seperate lives

What you gonna do?

When your two worlds collide

When word gets around without a doubt

The truth will come out

[Pre-Chorus]

You better make up your mind (oohoo hoo)

I'm taking them all we're heading for a...

[Chorus]

Showdown (showdown)

Which one of us will you choose

There's gotta be a showdown (showdown)

Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose

Showdown (showdown)

Which one of us will you choose

There's gotta be a showdown (showdown)

Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose

[Bridge]

But now it's up to you girl (would you make up your mind?)

To make the right decision

Anything's better than hanging on to a fine situation

Oh, I got to know (showdown)

I wanna know (ohh, ohh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

'Cause when word gets around

There is no doubt the truth will come out

Better make up your mind

I'm taking them all

We're having a...

[Chorus]

Showdown (showdown)

Which one of us will you choose

There's gotta be a showdown (showdown baby, showdown)

Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose

Showdown (tell me, baby)

Which one of us will you choose

Who's gonna win (who's gonna lose)

Who's gonna win (who's gonna lose)

Don't leave me hanging on now baby (ooh)

We gotta work it out, work it out baby

Work it out, work it out baby (ooh)

We gotta work it out, work it out baby

Work it out, work it out baby (ooh)

[Chorus]

Showdown (showdown)

Which one of us will you choose

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Showdown (showdown)

Showdown (showdown)

Who is gonna win and who is gonna lose?
