Right Where It Counts

(album: Again - 2000)

We're alone in the room
Playing Hexen and Doom
And now you telling me goodbye
So you want us apart
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 to
You've totally changed me
Mixed me up rearranged me
My hair how you like
Quit hanging with Mike
And now you repay me
By trying him
1st play me

I want you to know that you hit me too low
And that I can barely breath
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 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 call me whipped
My popularity slipped
Because you just wanted a door mat
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 lives
Me husband you wife
Now I'm confused
And battered and I'm blue

Why are you so mean
Now you've ruptured my spleen
And my lowest extremity
If we were alone
And the parents weren't home
I'd yell a hundred obscenities

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

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

Uh, come on come on
To the bridge
If I could really love you
Well this is what would you'd do
Well baby I can love you
Right to the fields
Is this the way you show me
How much you love me
Or is there really something your trying to say

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

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

Right where it counts [repeats]
