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
and he hit me, and I was glad
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
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
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
Baby won't you stay
