He hit me and it felt like a kiss

He hit me but it didn't hurt me

He couldn't stand to hear me say

That I'd 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 didn't care for me

I could have never made him mad

He hit me and I was glad

Baby won't you stay...

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 glad

Baby won't you stay
