Hit Me With Your Best Shot

I finally figured out what this song is about. The speaker, presumably a younger Pat Benetar, finds herself attracted to a guy. However, this guy is "a real tough cookie with a bad history of breaking young girls hearts". All of her friends keep telling her, 'he's no good. He takes advantage of girls and he doesn't care if he hurts them'. She's very conflicted. She knows he hasn't had the best past, but she cannot deny her strong feelings for him. So finally, she decides, "you know what, guy I like? Punch me in the face."
