[00:31.21]He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.
[00:39.73]He hit me, but it didn't hurt me.
[00:47.89]He couldn't stand to hear me say
[00:52.29]that I had been with someone new.
[00:56.36]And when I told him I had been untrue...
[01:05.04]He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.
[01:13.65]He hit me, and I knew he loved me.
[01:21.64]Cause if he didn't care for me,
[01:25.96]I could have never made him mad.
[01:30.10]And he hit me, and I was glad.
[01:38.13]Baby, why won't you stay? (repeat)
[02:07.32]He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.
[02:15.54]He hit me, and I knew he loved me.
[02:23.95]Cause when he took me in his arms,
[02:28.25]with all the tenderness there is.
[02:32.50]He hit me, and he made me feel.
[02:40.14]Baby, why won't you stay? (repeat)
