1. He walked up to me and asked me to get out of the dance,

       C                                              G                                      C

    I asked for my money back, he said that there wasn't a chance.

F                                   C              - F                                     C

  Then he dragged me off the floor, he told me not to come back no more,

            C                                         G                                      C

    the big, ugly bouncer threw me out the door, and then he kicked me.

 

              C                                          G                               C

2. Now each time he kicked me he couldn't wait to do it again,

              C                               G                                                C

    his shoes were so nice, it seemed to take my mind off the pain.

F                              C                - F                                C

    I started seeing stars above,        I asked him not to be so rough,

                           C                       G                                            C

    he said, "You always hurt the ones you love !" And then he kicked me!

 

           F

    He kicked me in a place where I've never been kicked before,

          D                                                                             G

    he kicked me so hard I know I won't be dancing anymore, ow !

 

           C                                            G                                           C

3. I knew he was a swine when he gave me all the kicks that he had,

             C                                       G                                    C

    he must have felt sorry 'cos he told me that I wasn't so bad.

F                                       C                 - F                           C

    Then he picked me up off the floor,      promised not to hit me no more,

            C                         G                                        C

    he carried me back inside the door, and then he kissed me.

            G     C                          G        C                G      C

    And so I kicked him. And then he kicked me. So I thumped him.

               G         C                     G        C

    And then he belted me. And so I smacked him ….
