Wife Beater

You met him at the dance hall

You only saw his charms

You said he really swept you off your feet

Then one night he's drinking

And jealousy enraged

He knocked out two of your front teeth

So you came over to hide out at my place

I guess I should have killed him there and then

But you begged me not to

Now you say he's changed

And you're gonna go back to him

Don't give me that bull about how it's for the children

A man like that could never be a dad

What happens when he kills you?

What will they do then?

Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that

Don't go back to him he's a wife beater

You'd be better off with this potato eater

You say he's changed, don't be a fool

A man like that's no good for you

A man like that's no good for you
