Who Was That Man That Beat Me So

(album: Everybody's Got A Family...Meet Mine - 1979)

Thanks to you my nose is bent real bad
My front teeth all but gone
You always told me you'd get me back
For being so rotten so long
But I never thought I'd see the day
That you would stoop so low
Woman who was that man that beat me so

When his mauling hands came at me
I was sure that King Kong still lived
Still I thought old rugged me could take it
But he had so much to give
I've heard that hell has no fury
Like a woman scorned
Now I know
But tell me who was that man that beat me so

I'm always drunk
I've cheated on you
I've lied with every breath
But I still think you should be ashamed
He beat me half to death

But you shed no tears when he stretched my ears
How I lived I still don't know
But tell me who was that man who beat me so
Darling who was that man that beat me so
