Every time I end up wakin' up In some hotel without my set of keys Comin' to remember when the way You turned me out when I was on my knees You think that was one up for you But I know I scored somethin' too When I see the way you have to struggle Just to do a little simple thing 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 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 His tears were all I felt When I saw my baby cry I knew he loved me I knew he loved me
