Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know, I said
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know
I didn't love you
A million times
But now you love me
And it's a crime
Show my momma, how you beat me now
Show my momma, don't you know, I said
Show my momma, how you beat me now
Show my momma, don't you know
Gotta gotta gotta gotta
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know, I said
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know
I coulda loved you
I didn't try
You made me happy
Oh, I've gotta fly
