977 — Pretenders

Every time i end up waking up In some hotel without my Set of keys Coming to, remembering the way Your turned me out when i was On my knees You think that was One up for you But i know i scored something too

When i see the way you have to struggle Just to do a little simple thing I feel apologetic Just because i'm not particularly suffering So i let you take me down I'm like your rent-a-clown

When i saw my baby cry I knew that he loved me That was some great victory He cried because of me He hit me with his belt But his tears were all i felt When i saw my baby cry I knew he loved me

When you try and cut me down And push me back If i attack your attitude I rise up to the challenge 'cause I like to taste the sugar of your violent mood Just like a stormy sea You're natural Poetry to me

When i saw my baby cry I knew that he loved me That was some great victory He cried because of me He hit me with his belt But his tears were all i felt When i saw my baby cry I knew he loved me I knew he loved me
