What's that sound [x3]
You got me hanging on
And listening to confessions on the telephone
Hear me now [x3]
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

You beat me black and blonde
Take it like a blonde [x2]
You leave me black and blonde
Take it like a blonde [x2]
Black and blonde
Break me down into the gun
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

Dumb it down [x3]
I'll spell it out for you
I'm the greatest fucking thing
That ever happened to you
it's over now [x3]
What a way to go
Cause no one ever really has to know
Cause he was just another bloody so-and-so

You beat me black and blonde
Take it like a blonde [x2]
You leave me black and blonde
Take it like a blonde [x2]
And I'll take you on
Until I'm gone
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

Sleep little child
I forgive you
And for the tears I cost
I'm sorry, too

Black and blonde
Take it like a blonde
You leave me black and blonde
Take it like a blonde
And I'll take you on
You break me down
And I'll take you on
Until I'm gone
