You don't look like me

You don't talk like me

You don't think like me

You don't walk like me

So why should I accept you

When all you did was keep me down

But now you're changin'

How dare you turn yourself around

(chorus) You used to slap me

You used to push me into the door

You used to beat me

But why don't you hit me anymore?

So now you say you're sorry

But I know that's the counseling talking

So you're struggling to keep me on

The tightrope that I'm walking

You took the strap to me

But I played your little games

I came to take it for granted

Why did you stop my pain?

(chorus)

Well now that it's over

Where will I get my welts

How do I recover

When I don't get the belt?

(chorus)

So why don't you hit me anymore?
