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
'cause if he didn't care for me
i could have never made him mad
he hit me and i was glad
baby won't you stay...
he hit me and it felt like a kiss
he hit me and i knew i loved him
'cause when he took me in his arms with all the tenderness there is
he hit me and he made me glad
baby won't you stay...
