Resist the temptation to hit me again
I know I’m helpless, besieged with pain
But it cannot help you to hurt me so much
I can’t take power from out of your clutch
You know I love you I’d never stay
I’d abandon my hopes; I’d make you pay
I daren’t stand up; you don’t mean to do wrong
Only you hear my mournful song
But your ears are deaf to my cries
Mine are too accepting of your lies
My eyes are shadowed, your purple delight
My heart can’t stop beating till you’re out of sight
And you’ll leave me here, alone on the floor
But you’ll come back later, and I’ll open the door
