The song "Baby Shot Me Down" by Beth Hart is about a woman who has been hurt by her partner and seeks revenge. She opens the song by saying she has a reason to live and fight, but the pain she feels is too much to handle as she is not ready to see the light. Her partner had some kind of master plan that she is aware of, but she does not agree with it. The pain he inflicted on her is not okay, and she is not happy with what he gave her. The woman's partner has a new favorite girl that he parades around, but she is not welcome in the woman's town. She has cruel intentions for the new girl and is not going to be content until she is avenged. She thinks that when the cat's away, the rat is going to play, just like when her baby shot her down. The chorus repeats several times, with the woman lamenting the fact that her baby has shot her down. She had thought things were perfect between them, but he betrayed her trust and caused her immense pain. Towards the end of the song, the woman reveals that she has a master plan just for her partner. She has come up from behind him and is ready to make him pay for his infidelity. She shoots him down, just like he did to her. Overall, "Baby Shot Me Down" is a powerful song about betrayal and revenge. It shows a woman who has been hurt but refuses to be a victim. She takes matters into her own hands and seeks justice, even if it means taking extreme measures.
