Lyrics
I'm all busted up, broken bones and nasty cutsAccidents will happen, but this time I can't get upShe comes to check on me, making sure I'm on my kneesAfter all, she's the one who put me in this state
 
Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?I better tell her that I love herBefore she does it all over againOh God, she's killing me!
 
For now, I'll lie aroundHell, that's all I can really doShe takes good care of meJust keep saying my love is true
 
Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?I better tell her that I love herBefore she does it all over againOh God, she's killing me!
 
Looking out my window for someone that's passing byNo one knows I'm locked in here, all I do is cry
 
For now, I'll lie aroundHell, that's all I can really doShe takes good care of meJust keep saying my love is true
