We're alone in the room
Playin' hexan and doom
And now you're tellin' me goodbye
(goodbye)
So you want us apart
That puts a knife in my heart
And a tear welling up in my eye
But let me remind you
how much you have been blind too
You've totally changed me,
mixed me up, rearranged me
My hair how you like
Quit hangin' with Mike
And now you repay me
By tryin' to slay me
I want you to know
That you hit me too low
And that I can barely breathe
(Huh, huh, huh)
If I told you that I'm bleeding inside
Would you let me get off my knees
(Let me get off my knees)
(That really hurts)
Right where it counts
That's where you hit me
Right where it counts
I'm on my knees
Right where it counts
Stop kicking me, please
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
(Right where it counts)
I used to play football
I once was a goofball
But you didn't like that
No, you didn't like that
The guys call me whipped
My popularity slipped
Because you just wanted a doormat
We should've been friends
And I'd do it again
If you and I could get back
Back on the highway
I thought we'd share our lives
Me husband, you wife
Now I'm confused
And battered and I'm bruised
Why are you so mean
Now you ruptured my spleen
And my lowest extremities
If we were alone
And your parents weren't home
I'd yell a hundred obsenities
Chorus (2x)
If I really loved you
This is what you'd do
Oh baby, I can love you
Right through that pain
Cause that's the way you show me
How much you love me
Or is it really something
You're trying to say
Chorus (2x)
Right where it counts (12x)
