We’re alone in my room
playin’ axis and doom
And now you’re tellin’ me goodbye
So you want us apart
Stick a knife in my heart
And a tear welling up in my eye
But let me remind how much you have been blind to
You’ve totally changed me,
Mixed me up, rearranged me
My hair how you like
Quit hanging with Mike
And now you’ve repaid me
By tryin’ to splay me
I want you to know
That you hit me too low
And that I can barely breathe
If I told you that I’m bleeding inside
Would you 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
I used to play football
I once was a goof ball
But you didn’t like that (no you didn’t like that)
The guys call me whipped
My popularities slipped
Because you just wanted a doormat
We shut out our friends
And I’d do it again
If you and I could get back on the highway
I thought we’d share our life
Me husband you wife
But now I’m confused
I’m battered, and I’m bruised
Why are you so mean
Now you’ve ruptured my spleen
And my lowest extremities
[That’s pretty low]
If we were alone
And your parents weren’t home
I’d yell a hundred obscenities
(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
[Oh, oh, right to the bridge]
I really really loved you
And this is what you do
But baby I can love you
Right through the pain
Is this the way you show me
How much you love me?
Or is there really something
You’re trying to say?
[You trying to say something?
(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
[Ow!]
Right where it counts
(My voice is high…)
Right where it counts
(high…..)
Right where it counts
(high…..)
Right where it counts
