I know you must have felt the pain
Kicked around on the ground
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
But somewhere in your fairy tale
Ya gave him your most precious gift
You're out of time
I know you must have felt the pain
Kicked around on the ground
Kicked around on the ground
You've been beaten down
Aw you've been beaten down
You were his bleeding bride
You took it like a woman
He laughed at you, so what'd you do?
But you took it like a woman
Your fantasy life is finally at an end
I know you must have felt the pain
And the story will start again
You been beaten down
Everything went wrong
The words don't rhyme
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
He slapped your innocent face
Daddy's little princess
Now the sun don't shine
I know you must have felt the pain
Deeply scarred
But he was really Mr. Hyde
Deeply scarred
Ya thought you had your Mr. Right
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Pushed too far pulled too hard
You took it like a woman
And the world above is still a brutal place
Yeah, you were black and blue
But you took it like a woman
But you took it like a woman
Felt the pain
I know you must have felt the pain
He tied you up, pulled your hair
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
But you took it like a woman
Mama's little girl
But you took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
And so it's over
Deeply scarred
But you took it like a woman
