We're alone in your room
Playing Hexan and Doom
And now your telling me goodbye
(Bye?)
So you want us apart
That puts a knife in my heart
And a tear welling up in my eye
(One little tear)
But let me remind you how much you have been blind too
You've totally changed me,mixed me up,rearranged me
I cut my hair how you liked
Quit hanging with Mike
And now you've repaid me
By trying to slay 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?
(It really hurts)

Chorus
Right where it counts
That's where ya 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 goofball
But you didn't like that
No,you didn't like that
The guys called me whipped
My popularity 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
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've ruptured my splean
numbered my lowest extremedies
If we were alone and your parents weren't home
I'd yell a hundred obsenities

Chorus 2x

It's hard for me to love
When 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 it really something
You're trying to say?

Chorus 2x

Right where it counts
(Right where)
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
(My voice is hiiiiiiiiiiggh)
Right where it counts
(Hiiiiiiggh)
Right where it counts
(Hiiiiiiggh)
Right where it counts
(Hiiiiiiggh)
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
(You got me)
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
