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?

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

he made me his

baby won't you stay.......
