Album: Proud
Tomorrow she’ll put make-up on the bruises
Tomorrow she’ll be making up excuses
But I’ve known you since we were three
What makes you think you can lie to me And I’m trying to respect your privacy
Despite the fact that it’s killing me…
You say you love him but I don’t know why
He beats you up, he don’t provide
So you’re stuck working doubles down at the local dive
Dodging dirty hands for a petty wage but you bottle up the rage cos you gotta
survive…
I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride
Make the call and I’ll be there by your side
Hey girl you don’t have to take that shit from anybody…
That sticky summer night in his backseat
He made you bleed, planted his seed
Now you’ve got not one but two more mouths to feed
I know you wanted your kid to have a dad but name is not the same as deed…
I know you know there’s more to life than this
Taking the blame, the pain, whenever he gets pissed
Nothing stronger than a mother’s love for her only kid
Except for maybe her battered bones, bruised by blows from his father’s fists…
I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride
Make the call and I’ll be there by your side
Hey girl you don’t have to take that shit from anybody
Got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride
Say the word and I’ll make him f*cking cry
You are my friend I will defend until the end…
What happened to the girl that I once knew
I remember way back when, when nobody could tell you what to do Now you just sit there and let 'em turn the screws
Hey girl I’ve said my piece, the rest is up to you…
I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride
Hey girl you gotta decide if this is how you wanna live your life
Trapped like a rat in a bad situation
Frozen by feelings of fear and frustration
Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride
It’s yours for the taking, your rage more than justified
Seeing red, black and blue, and you know that it’s true
Yeah you know he won’t stop til you’re through
