Right Where It Counts Lyrics

Written by Brian Gunn, Mark Gunn and Brian Steckler 

We're alone in the room 
Playin' hexan and doom 
And now you're tellin' me 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 
If I told you that I'm bleeding inside 
Would you let me get off my knees 

(Chorus) 
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 

C'mon, c'mon, yeah 
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 your ruptured my spleen 
And my lowest extremities 
If we were alone 
And your parents weren't home 
I'd now 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 vid 
'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 
(Repeat 12x)
