I've been knocked
down on the ground,
I've been kicked and dragged around.
It would take a book to tell
what I've been through.
Y 'all see these front teeth I got,
they're on a Dallas parking lot.
But I ain't never been hurt
like the hurt put on by you.
Well, I've been hit by a Mack truck,
I've been left for dead in the dirt.
A cat sliced me with a razor,
nearly in two.
I've had my right eye
knocked from out,
I've had these lips knocked off my mouth.
But I ain't never been hurt
like the hurt put on by you.
Oh, you never had to lay
your sweet hands on me
You smiled, then you walked away
And through the fall,
you cared as bad as I am
Yeah, we'd be crying
like a little wimpy puppet of day
They did a million to fight Ali
Folks, I swear, I'd fight him free
And I'd bet a hundred on
the side I'd whip him too
I was raised in the ghetto with the rats
And I have the razzle me awhile yet
But I ain't never been hurt
like the hurt put on by you
Oh, you never had to lay
your sweet hands on me
And you just smiled as you walked away
Who'd have thought a
chap as bad as I am
Would be crying
like a little whipped puppet a day
They get up in the fight alley
Lord, I think I'd fight him free
And I'd be a hundred on
the side of the women too
I was raised in the ghetto with the rats
Lord, I've wrestled me a wild cat
And I ain't never been hurt
like the hurt put on by you
No, I ain't never been hurt
like the hurt put on by you
Thanks
