Every time I end up wakin' up   In some hotel without my set of keys   Comin' to remember when the way   You turned me out when I was on my knees   You think that was one up for you   But I know I scored somethin' too      When I see the way you have to struggle   Just to do a little simple thing   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   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   His tears were all I felt   When I saw my baby cry   I knew he loved me   I knew he loved me
