In the crowded
club he drank
too much
I asked him
to ease up
He slapped me
hard across the face
and grabbed me
by the throat

It is not
the first and
would not be
 the last
If I just
let it happen
I called the cops
he went to jail

 Chorus
Abuse me once
shame on you
Abuse me twice
shame on me
I pray to God
that he will
never abuse me again

I am broken hearted
lost my soul
I have to 
do the right thing
The gig is up
we have no future
Time to lose
this loser

I go to court
he goes to jail
Tough guy can
try to slap
an inmate

I move away
to start again
and clear my
cloudy brain
I meet a 
nice guy
What a nice guy
I am a happy girl

Chorus
Abuse me once
shame on you
Abuse me twice
shame on me
I pray to God
that he will
never abuse me again
