Drive-By Truckers - Wife Beater lyrics

You met him at the dance hall You only saw his charms You said he really swept you off your feet Then one night he's drinking And jealousy enraged He knocked out two of your front teeth So you came over to hide out at my place I guess I should have k**ed him there and then But you begged me not to Now you say he's changed And you're gonna go back to him Don't give me that bull about how it's for the children A man like that could never be a dad What happens when he k**s you? What will they do then? Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that Don't go back to him he's a wife beater You'd be better off with this potato eater You say he's changed, don't be a fool A man like that's no good for you A man like that's no good for you
