Right Where It Counts lyrics

We're alone in your room,
playin' Hexen and Doom
and now you're telling me goodbye (goodbye).
So you want us apart,
that puts a knife in my heart
and a tear wellin' up in my eye (one little tear).

Well 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 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 goofball.
but you didn't like that,
no you didn't like that.
The guys call me whipped,
my popularity's 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.
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 spleen
and my lowest extremities.
If we were alone
and your parents weren't home
I'd let a hundred obscenities!

*chorus*

(To the bridge)

If I ever really loved you
and this is what you do
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?

*chorus*

Right where it counts
Right where it counts
Right where it counts
*repeat*
(My voice is high, high, HIGH)
