He's drunk again, it's time to fight She must have done something wrong tonight The living room becomes a boxing ring It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands She's just a woman, never again I hear her scream from down the hall Amazing she can even talk at all She cries to me go back to bed I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands She's just a woman, never again Been there before but not like this Seen it before but not like this Never before have I ever seen it this bad She's just a woman, never again Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell It starts to sting as it starts to swell She looks at you, she wants the truth It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands Lookin' just as sweet as he can, never again Seen it before but not like this Been there before but not like this Never before have I ever seen it this bad She's just a woman, never again Never again Father's a name you haven't earned yet You're just a child with a temper Haven't you heard don't hit a lady Kickin' your a** would be a pleasure He's drunk again, it's time to fight Same old s***, just on a different night She grabs the gun, she's had enough Tonight she'll find out how f***in' tough is this man Pulls the trigger fast as she can, never again Seen it before but not like this Been there before but not like this Never before have I ever seen it this bad She's just a woman, never again Seen it before but not like this Been there before but not like this Never before have I ever seen it this bad She's just a woman, never again Never again Never again Never again
