Lyrics - 977 by Pretenders

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
