He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me but it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say

That I'd been with someone new
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me and I knew he loved me
If he didn't care for me

Yes he hit me and it felt like a kiss

He hit me and I knew I loved him
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is

And when he kissed me
He made me his
