You met him at the dance hall
You only saw his charms
You said he really swept you off your feet
Then one night hes drinking
and jealousy enraged
He knocked out two of your front teeth
so you came over to hide out at my place
I guess I should have killed him there and then
but you begged me not to
now you say hes changed
and youre gonna go back to him
Dont give me that bull about how its for the children
A man like that could never be a dad
What happens when he kills you?
What will they do then?
Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that
Dont go back to him hes a wife beater
Youd be better off with this potato eater
You say hes changed, dont be a fool
A man like thats no good for you
A man like thats no good for you
