She blacks and bluesShe wear new bruise'Cause he beat her
senselessHe hit the booze Whenever she's prey to
his diseaseShe take some beatingFall to her knees
It's only love, he told me soHe's coming home to my
bedI wouldn't bleed if only he'd leave me along now
and then When did it start?I can't
recollectI'm still alive, if a little wrecked He
makes it so i'mso old before my timeHe comes from behindit
helps him to unwind It's all right, love, he
told me soHe's promised me no more painI wouldn't
bleed if only he'dleave me alone now and then
