he couldnt stand to hear me say
that id been with someone new
and when i told him
i had been untrue

he hit me
and it felt like a kiss
he hit me
and i knew he loved me

cause if he didnt care for me
i couldve never made him mad
he hit me
and i was glad

baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
never go away

he hit me
and it felt like a kiss
he hit me
and i knew i loved him

cause when he took me in his arms
with all the tenderness there is
he hit me
and he made me feel

baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
never go away
baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
never go away
baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
baby wont you stay
never go away
baby wont you stay
