I bet ya never thought

That it would never turn out like this

Mama's little girl

Daddy's little princess



But somewhere in your fairy tale

Everything went wrong

Now the sun don't shine

The words don't ryhme

You're out of time



You've been beaten down

Kicked around, On the ground

But you took it like a woman

Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed

But you took it like a woman

Pushed too far pulled too hard

Deeply scared

I know you must have felt the pain

But you took it like a woman



Ya thought you had your Mr. Right

But he was really Mr. Hyde

Ya gave him your most precious gift

You were his bleeding bride

He tied you up pulled your hair

He slapped your innocent face

Yeah, you were black and blue

He laughed at you

So what'd you do?



You've been beaten down

Kicked around, On the ground

But you took it like a woman

Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed

But you took it like a woman

Pushed too far pulled too hard

Deeply scared

I know you must have felt the pain

But you took it like a woman



And so its over

Your fantasy life is finally at an end

And the world above is still a brutal place

And the story will start again



You've been beaten down

Kicked around, On the ground

But you took it like a woman

Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed

But you took it like a woman

Pushed too far pulled too hard

Deeply scared

I know you must have felt the pain

But you took it like a woman



Felt the pain

I know you must have felt the pain

But you took it like a woman

You took it like a woman

I know you must have felt the pain

You took it like a woman

I know you must have felt the pain

You took it like a woman

I know you must have felt the pain

But you took it like a woman
