Health is a game mechanic used in tabletop role-playing games and video games to give value to characters, enemies, NPCs, and related objects. This value can either be numerical, semi-numerical as in hit/health points, or arbitrary as in a life bar.
Hit points, also known as health points (or HP), damage points, heart points, or just health (among other synonyms), is a finite value used to determine how much damage (usually in terms of physical injury) a character can withstand. When a character is attacked, or is hurt from a hazard or fall, the total damage dealt (which is also represented by a point value) is subtracted from their current HP. Once their HP reaches 0, the character will be unable to fight. In role-playing games, health is often abbreviated by two letter initialisms such as HP.
In some role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, a player character's hit points are determined by character level. The hit points of monsters are decided by rolling "Hit Dice". Characters with high constitution will have an advantage when hit points are assigned. A character whose hit points are reduced to zero is considered dead or incapacitated. Other games sometimes lack levels, hit points, or both.

Hey little girl you're runnin all over town
I know about you yeah you really get around
Well I hate to say it but your clothes don't fit you right
And tonight I think you've got your hot pants on too tight
[Chorus]
You're always wearing those hot pants
You say you're lookin for romance
But when I 'm around you know you haven't got a chance
You're always wearing those hot pants
But I know that no one wants to dance with you tonight
Hey little girl you're tryin to get with my guy
I've got two words hands off or baby I'll make you cry
I don't pull hair and I don't fight dirty
But piss me off at 9 and you're lunchmeat by 9:30
Well you've got the moves but your hair is so last year
And you've got the attitude but you're wearing your headgear
Everybody knows you put the ho in ho ho's
And you're in my face and I wanna break your nose
