977 (Later, May 1994) Songtext / Lyric

Every time I end up wakin' up

In some hotel without my set of keys

Comin' to remember when the way

You turned me out when I was on my knees

You think that was one up for you

But I know I scored somethin' too



When I see the way you have to struggle

Just to do a little simple thing

Feel apologetic just because

I'm not particularly suffering

So I let you take me down

I'm like your 'rent a clown'



When I saw my baby cry

I knew that he loved me

That was some great victory

He cried because of me






He hit me with his belt

His tears were all I felt

When I saw my baby cry

I knew he loved me



When you try and cut me down

And push me back if I attack your attitude

I rise up to the challenge 'cause

I like to taste the sugar of your violent mood

Just like a stormy sea

You're natural poetry to me



When I saw my baby cry

I knew that he loved me

That was some great victory

He cried because of me



He hit me with his belt

His tears were all I felt

When I saw my baby cry

I knew he loved me

I knew he loved me
