"I love you in my way," he says, and slaps her with the back of his hand
"You with the way you're treating me, oh, you're lucky you ain't dead"
Her shiner gleaming brightly now, she thinks about the truth in what he says
Wears down and bites her pride, and gives him every bit of her soul
She bears down, with every bit of her weight
He only smiles and laughs, he never hesitates
"You don't love me and I don't need you here anymore"
"It's all a matter of opinion," he says, "and the way you hold your head"
"And you with your hair combed like that, baby, don't need to read minds to know what they're thinkin'"
"And you know that, when they look at you, they look at me, and
"And I simply won't have them think of me that way"
She bears down, with every bit of her weight
But he only smiles and laughs, he never hesitates
"You don't love me and I don't need you here"
"Baby, I need you to know I don't need you here," he says
"If you can't take the weight go back from whence you came"
"And that's alright-" she says.
"Yeah, that's alright," she says, "I know your kind and I understand"
"You need someone timid like me to push around, make you feel like a man"
"Just so you know, I don't need this abuse, and I won't take it long
"Put your two bits in, and pack up your toothy grin, and get, get gone"
He bears down, with every bit of his hate
She only shakes her fist and says: "Don't you even hesitate
"You don't need me, and I don't love you here
"Anymore"
