Performer(s): The Pretenders


Every time 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 
I 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 
I knew that he loved me 
That was some great victory 
He cried because of me 
He hit me with his belt 
But his tears were all I felt 
When I saw my baby cry 
I knew he loved me 

When you try and cut me down 
And push me back 
If I attack your attitude 
I rise up to the challenge 'cause 
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 
That was some great victory 
He cried because of me 
He hit me with his belt 
But his tears were all I felt 
When I saw my baby cry 
I knew he loved me 
I knew he loved me
