(voice over)
I’ve heard before that love can be like a game of hockey; some pain and some fighting, penalties to be served, but ultimately respect on both sides and lessons learned. And, if you’re lucky, it ends in a tie and everyone wins.
(Chorus)
I took a slapshot right to the heart
And baby, I took it hard
You let me think that we were up by a lot
But the score wasn’t as great as I thought
(Verse)
I need a goalie to defend my love
You’re bearing down on me
Pushed past the hurt, went for a goal
Why oh why couldn’t I see
You had the cruelest intentions and, not to mention
You didn’t even feel guilty
When all is said and done
It’s my fault, really I gave you too many chances, over and over
Now I have to sit in penalty
(lead-in)
Straight from the start it felt like we were on a power play
You slammed against my brain every night and day
A senseless beating,
I kept repeating “this will all work out”
(chorus)
I took a slapshot right to the heart
And baby, I took it hard
You let me think that we were up by a lot
But the score wasn’t as great as I thought
(Verse)
You always said, no fighting in high school hockey
They’ll throw you out of the league
Tell me then why were we so angry
The bickering never stopped
You said that there was no checking if their back was turned, baby
Couldn’t you see the stop sign I was holding up?
I was pinned against the glass for all to see
Here’s a fragile and worn girl’s heart
All I asked was for you to have mercy
[I begged on my knees for you to have mercy]
But you ran the score up always in your favor
(lead-in)
Straight from the start it felt like we were on a power play
You slammed against my brain every night and day
A senseless beating,
I kept repeating “this will all work out”
(Chorus Variation)
I took a slapshot right to the heart
And baby, I took it hard
In the end you won by a lot
You cheated but never got caught
(Fade Out)
Cheated but never got caught
[till it was…]
Cheated but never got
[till it was too late]
Cheated but
[now it’s too late]
Cheater
[am I too late]
