[Intro: Brian]
Oooh, oh-whoa!

[Verse 1: Brian & Nick]
In the heart of the night
When it's dark in the light
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor, oh-oh, 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

[Chorus: All]
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)

[Verse 2: Howie & AJ]
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, oh, oh
Hear the sound of a love so loud
I just can't, I just can't ignore this feeling
Said she misses me
And she wants me, wants me tonight

[Chorus: All]
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)

[Bridge: Nick]
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, oh, oh

[Chorus: All & Brian]
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
(Solider down, solider down)
I just can't believe it, oh, oh!
No I can't resist and I can't be hit (no I can't, yeah)
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
Soldier down (my heart)
Soldier down (my heart)

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
