You Think You Can Change Me

I should have mentioned my wild aggression
My daddy showed me how to be angry
I’m ready to beat you without reason
Don’t you recall the marks from your mummy

You give me money and give me your time
You try to please me and try to tease me
Run away honey I’ll commit a crime
Why can’t you just see, why can’t you just flee

You stay with me you think you can change me
You pretend that you do not need romance
I could make you beg and bring tears from thee
I would hurt you if you gave me the chance

The smashing plates to the beating of face
Pretty flowers and a sorry embrace
