Shot Through the Heart

Shot through the heart
It's all part of the game that we call love

Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call

And I'm shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of the game that we call love

Now you've come back here to say you're sorry
But I don't know who you're talking to
It could be the man I used to be, girl
But I've grown up and now I'm over you

Standing there just a livewire
With nowhere left to turn
You were gonna set the world on fire
But you'll never learn

Now you're shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of the game that we call love

Standing there just a livewire
With nowhere left to turn
You were gonna set the world on fire
But you'll never learn
Now you're shot...

Baby does what baby please
And baby must have what she sees
But not this time, the tables turned
Baby, you just got burned

Shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of the game that we call love
