Hey, baby, you don't have to live this way
You don't have a debt to pay
So put your foot down and pick your heart up, off the ground
Cause that's not where you belong, I can prove that without this song
But for now just play along

I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you
Hurt by the way, that he loves you
I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you
Hurt by the way, that he loves you

9-1-1 I think we lost another one
Said he had a gun and called it love
Pulled the trigger to her head, now she's dead livin' for another one
But you're worth more than you think and
I know your strong enough not to sink
And chin up girl, I believe in you

I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you
Hurt by the way, that he loves you
I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you
Hurt by the way, that he loves you

Yeah, yeah
Now I know a lot of girls in this life, will end up with the wrong guy tonight
But I really wanna prove a point to this young boy, right here, let's fight
He got his fists ready, I got my pen ready
But I'll write somethin' so heavy it 'll bust up his brand new chevy
Mm-man-man, poor 'cuse of a man
Talk-a-these girls with sweet talk and then beat them like trash talk

Girls, please, listen to me please, I know you, I know you, I know you
I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you
Ooh-woo-woo
I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
Hurt by the way that he fights with you-oo-oo
Hurt by the waaay that he loves you
By the way that he loves you
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, oh, by the way that he loves ya
