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
