He Hit Me

He hit me

And it felt like a kiss.

He hit me

But it didn't hurt me.

He couldn't stand to hear me say

That I'd been with someone new,

And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me

And it felt like a kiss.

He hit me

And I knew he loved me.

If he didn't care for me that way

I could have never made him mad

But he hit me,

And I was glad.

Yes, he hit me

And it felt like a kiss.

He hit me

And I knew I loved him.

And then he took me in his arms

With all the tenderness there is,

And he kissed me,

And he made me his.
