That's when he beats me You say that's when he what? He doesn't mean it to be cruel Cruel, cruel, cruel I know he needs me And what does he know? He knows karate It's HI-YO-SUIT! And I'm his fool! He doesn't talk of love Or sunshine, or flowers, or birds But when you're home alone together One slap is worth ten thousand words I give him money And what does he give you? He gives me bruises You send a thank-you note? Well, that's a fair exchange I guess Guess, guess, guess again But I'm still prayin' Oh-wa-oh He won't stop sluggin' Oh-wa-oh Cuz that would mean he'd love me less Take our advice Seymour's so nice He loves you more than you see He wants you so Girls, I don't know I think I'll stay chained to this tree It may seem psychotic to be Erotic about Simon Legree It is! He's sick and despotic But gee Gee whiz! The worse he treats me The more I'm sure He loves me!
