She blacks and blues
She wear new bruise
'Cause he beat her senseless
He hit the booze
Whenever she's
prey to his disease
She take some beating
Fall to her knees
It's only love, he told me so
He's coming home to my bed
I wouldn't bleed if only he'd
leave me along now and then
When did it start?
I can't recollect
I'm still alive,
if a little wrecked
He makes it so i'm
so old before my time
He comes from behind
it helps him to unwind
It's all right, love, he told me so
He's promised me no more pain
I wouldn't bleed if only he'd
leave me alone now and then
