The Worse He Treats Me
[AUDREY]
The worse he treats me
The more he loves me
It sounds unusual I know
But when he hurts me
That’s how he tells me
That he would never let me go

I buy him presents
That’s when he beats me
He doesn’t mean it to be cruel
I know he needs me
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 we’re home
Alone together
One slap is worth ten thousand words

The worse he treats me
The more he loves me
Well that’s a fair exchange I guess
But I’m still prayin’
He won’t stop sluggin’
‘Cause that would mean he loved me less
He doesn’t talk
Of love
Or sunshine, or flowers, or birds
But when we’re home
Alone together
One slap is worth ten thousand words

The worse he treats me
The more he loves me
The worse he treats me
The more he treats me
The more he loves me!
