Lyrics

Beat Me

Oh beat me gently, beat me slowly, now

Beat me gently, don't you know, I said

Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now

Beat me gently, don't you know

I didn't love you

A million times

But now you love me

And it's a crime

Show my momma, how you beat me now

Show my momma, don't you know, I said

Show my momma, how you beat me now

Show my momma, don't you know

Gotta  gotta gotta gotta

Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now

Beat me gently, don't you know, I said

Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now

Beat me gently, don't you know

I coulda loved you

I didn't try

You made me happy

Oh, I've gotta fly
