Sangtekst: Pretenders. 977.

Every time I end up wakin' up
In some hotel without my set of keys
Comin' to remember when 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 somethin' 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
I knew that he loved me
That was some great victory
He cried because of me

He hit me with his belt
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
His tears were all I felt
When I saw my baby cry
I knew he loved me
I knew he loved me
