 When I opened up my heart to you
 You chewed it up and spit it back out, yeah
 You chewed it up and spit it back 
 You beat me up, and you know I never see it coming
 Upside down, from inside out, you beat me...
 
 Well, I remember each slow-dance evening, how we felt together
 With your warm, gentle, pillow-talking touch
 The way you eased on the Muzak and whispered now or never
 The way that you do's really just too much.
 
 Well then the mood (then something snaps) 
 Begins to change (you start with slaps )
 I fear my face (then comes the hook) you'll rearrange.
 
 Chorus 1
 You beat me up, like I never felt
 You take me down, way below the belt
 You beat me up, and you know I never see it coming
 Upside down, from inside out, you beat me up.
 
 Well I remember those satin, silky, gentle, quiet moments
 Barry Manilow softness set the tone
 In the twilight we're kissing, fondling, talking about our romance
 And how we'd do the future on our own.
 
 Well then you turn (you spin your head) 
 I hear the bell (I know I'm dead)
 Suddenly you're (the raging bull) the date from hell.
 
 Chorus 2
 You beat me up, you knock me out
 I'm on the ropes in this title bout
 You beat me up, and you whup me worse than Mr. T
 You decked my heart, took it apart
 You beat me up.
 
 When I opened my heart to you
 You chewed it up and spit it back out
 When I opened my mind to you
 You know you chewed it up and spit it back out
 (repeat)
 
 Don't be thinking I'm here to be your punching bag forever
 Don't be thinking I'm here to take a dive
 Don't be bringing that rope-a-dope 'round here thinking you're clever
 I'm one contender who really can survive.
 
 Well then it comes (an uppercut) 
 The coup de grace (straight to the gut)
 You clean my clock (you kick my butt) you kick my a...
 
 (Repeat chorus 1 & 2)
 
 You deck my heart, tear it apart
 You beat me up.
