Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

977

Every time I end up waking up

In some hotel without my

Set of keys

Coming to, remembering the way

Your 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
