Oh oh oh
In the heart
Of the night
When it's dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor
Oh oh

I looked down
And my shirt's turning red
I'm spinning around
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice
In my ear
Like I missed you
Want you tonight

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart

Thought I moved
More than on
Thought I could
Fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I can't leave her alone
Oh oh

Hear the sound
Of a love so loud
I just can't
I just can't
Ignore this feeling
Said she missed me
And she wants me
Wants me tonight

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart

In the heart
Of the night
When it's dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest voice
A gunshot on the floor
Oh oh

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart

Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Oh oh
