A Little Bit of Abuse Lyrics

One on the nose, one on the chin You bruise so easy, so why stay with him? He uses you just like a human punching bag
But you don't complain, you're too scared to speak Anyway, it only really hurts you when you laugh and when you eat But you can't break the pattern, week after week
The bruises show But he must be special otherwise you'd just get up and go
You'll never let us know, exactly how you feel What's the use, the cynics say it's no excuse You keep running back just to get a little bit of abuse You say, "It's okay", but I say that, "It's not right" You wind him up, now you're living in fear You keep going back but it ends in tears, oh
That's quite a cut on the side of your head Is it from his fist, or did you really fall out of bed? Oh, so uncouth excuse me, is this your tooth?
Why do you stay, no one knows? Do you really love him or are you too scared to go? You're always nervous and on the edge of tears
You cry alone but you never tell us What it's like when you get back home
No one will ever know because you never show What's the use, everyone says you've got no excuse You keep running back just to get a little bit of abuse You say, "It's okay", but I say that, "It's not right" Oh, it's your secret, it's your life, who am I to criticize? It takes two sides to know it's true And maybe he'll stay in love with you No one will ever know because you never show
