He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

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 had 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

And he hit me, and I was glad

Baby, why won't you stay?

Cause when he took me in his arms

with all the tenderness there is

He hit me, and he made me feel

Baby, why won't you stay?
