90's Love

90's Love

You hit me with a disease on the day I thought you loved me,
yeah you loved me, but you loved her too.
You abused me yesterday and held me today, and even though
I knew it was wrong, It's in my nature to take you back.

You impregnated me, then left me with no money, no car,
but I still allow you to spend the night in my bed.
When you cheated on me and told me you were sorry,
I believed you faithfully, as any fool would.

When the telephone rang at night, she asked to speak to you.
I rolled my eyes though said nothing, scared that you would leave..
I still believed.

I begged you to leave your other girls alone,
you punched me in my mouth and I...
accepted the abuse as your way of saying no.

I hope the women of the new millennium will be smarter than I was.
