The Pretenders


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
