He hit me and it felt like a kiss
  He hit me but it didn't hurt me
  He couldn't stand to hear me say
  That I'd been with someone new
  And when I told him I had been untrue
  He hit me and it felt like a kiss
  He hit me and I knew he loved me
  'Cause if he didn't care for me
  I could have never made him mad
  He hit me and I was glad
  Baby won't you stay...
  He hit me and it felt like a kiss
  He hit me and I knew I loved him
  'Cause when he took me in his arms With all the tenderness there is
  He hit me and he made me glad
  Baby won't you stay...
