Shot through the heart it's all part of the game 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

Shot through the heart as I lay there alone in the dark
Through the heart it's all part of the game we call love

Now you've come back here to say you're sorry
But I just 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
When will you ever learn?

Shot through the heart as I lay there alone in the dark
Through the heart it's all part of the game we call love

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're heading for a fall?
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
And I'm 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 we call love

    Great song.. Love it... love the lines: Baby does what baby please And baby must have what she sees But not this time, the tables turned Baby, you just got burned Songs are typically about a guy making a mistake and wanting the girl to come back, but this time its the opposite.. great song..

    Song is about someone leaving but wanting to come back. The relationship is over and he's moved on but now she realised she was wrong. She gets burnt This song rocks from their debut

    With the mirror line "shot through the heart" and similar themes, this song almost sounds like a sequel to "You Give Love a Bad Name". Anyone know of BJ meant the two songs to be companion pieces?
