Lyrics

Punchin' Bag

She's a stone cold straight-faced killer and a lover
And she won't put up with another brood who only wants to bruise her
Take her love and then abuse her
She won't take no more, won't take no more
Won't take no more, won't take no more
Oh no ain't it a drag
If you take a swing, she swing back
She say, I'm not your punchin' bag
Heaven help ya, I'm telling the truth
Heaven help ya, she's coming for you
Heaven help ya, the girl likes to fight
Afraid of nothing and she carries a knife
She said oh no I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
What kind of man are you?
Instead of kisses you gave bruises
No more time for cheap excuses
If I were you, I would be leaving
Best you go while you're still breathing
She won't take no more, won't take no more
Won't take no more, won't take no more
Oh no ain't it a drag
If you take a swing, the kid swings back
She say, I'm not your punchin' bag
Heaven help ya, I'm telling the truth
Heaven help ya, she's coming for you
Heaven help ya, the girl likes to fight
Afraid of nothing and she carries a knife
She said, I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
Last time, last time you'll ever gonna
Last time, last time you'll ever gonna
Last time, last time you'll ever gonna
Last time, last time you'll ever gonna
Oh no ain't it a drag
Everywhere you go, better watch your bag
'Cause I'm not your punchin' bag
Heaven help ya, I'm telling the truth
Heaven help ya, she's coming for you
Heaven help ya, the girl likes to fight
Afraid of nothing and she carries a knife
She said, I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
I'm not your punchin' bag
