Everytime I end up waking up in some hotel without my set of keys,

Coming to, remembering 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 something 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

Knew that he loved me

That was some great victory

He cried because of me

He hit me with his belt

But his fears were all I felt

When I saw my baby cry

I knew he loved me

When you try to cut me down and push me back if I attack your

attitude

I rise up to the challenge cuz 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

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

But his fears were all I felt

When I saw my baby cry

I knew he loved me

I knew he loved me
