He hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
But it didn't hurt me

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss

And I knew he loved me

But he hit me,
And I was glad

Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss
He hit me
And I knew I loved him
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is,
And when he kissed me,
He made me his
