I bet ya never thought
   That it would never turn out like this
   Mama's little girl
   Daddy's little princess
  
   But somewhere in your fairy tale
   Everything went wrong
   Now the sun don't shine
   The words don't ryhme
   You're out of time
  
   You've been beaten down
   Kicked around on the ground
   But you took it like a woman
   Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
   But you took it like a woman
   Pushed too far pulled too hard
   Deeply scared
   I know you must have felt the pain
   But you took it like a woman
  
   Ya thought you had your Mr. Right
   But he was really Mr. Hyde
   Ya gave him your most precious gift
   You were his bleeding bride
   He tied you up pulled your hair
   He slapped your innocent face
   Yeah, you were black and blue
   He laughed at you
   So what'd you do?
  
   Aw you've been beaten down
   Kicked around on the ground
   But you took it like a woman
   Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
   But you took it like a woman
   Pushed too far pulled too hard
   Deeply scared
   I know you must have felt the pain
   But you took it like a woman
  
   And so its over
   Your fantasy life is finally at an end
   And the world above is still a brutal place
   And the story will start again
  
   You been beaten down
   Kicked around on the ground
   But you took it like a woman
   Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
   But you took it like a woman
   Pushed too far pulled too hard
   Deeply scared
   I know you must have felt the pain

   I know you must have felt the pain
   But you took it like a woman
