From the minute I turned and laid my eyes on you 
I had no eyes of my own 
I was blind to the world - you were too good to be true 
But you were something to see - so very young and alone 

And I still don't believe the way you turned on me
Now where's the girl that I knew? 
I gave you somewhere to live and then somebody to love 
You gave me nothing but trouble - man, I've been such a fool 

You gave me nothing at all - now let me give it to you 
You taught me how to be cruel - now let me try it on you 

How do you abuse me, let me count the ways 
How many hours in how many days 
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain 
How many rules breaking how many games 

How do you abuse me - let me count the ways 
How many hours in how many days 
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain 
How many rules breaking how many games 

You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack 
Go on and take all your stuff - don't even bother to pack 
In every way I want you out of my life 
But I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back 

In the pit of the night you used to pull me so close 
And then you'd hold me so tight 
And in the wink of an eye you used to give me it all
 And with a kiss in the darkness you'd deliver the light

And in the pit of the night I hear you laughing so loud 
I know you're laughing at me 
Oh ain't it funny and sad the way I fell for your lies 
The way I fell into love and then I begged to be free 

You gave me nothing at all - now let me give it to you 
You taught me how to be cruel - now let me try it on you

How do you abuse me, let me count the ways 
How many hours in how many days 
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain 
How many rules breaking how many games 

How do you abuse me - let me count the ways 
How many hours in how many days 
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain 
How many rules breaking how many games 

You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack 
Go on and take all your stuff - don't even bother to pack 
In every way I want you out of my life 
But I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back 

Somebody bless all the girls in the sand on the beach 
They're dreamin' of boys and staying just out of reach 
Bless all the cheerleaders down on the track 
They're glistening like diamonds with sweat on their backs 

Bless all the girls in the gangs on the street 
They're looking for danger and they're holding their piece
Bless all the girls staying late after school 
They're playing with fire and they're playing it cool 

And bless all the shy girls who're learning to dance 
They stare in the mirror and they conjure romance 
Bless all the girls who are always alone 
They kneel down in prayer and they wait up by the phone

Bless all the homecoming queens of the night 
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights 
And bless all the girls who know what love is about 
They try not to cry and then they try to put out 

Bless all the homecoming queens of the night 
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights
And bless all the girls who know what love is about 
They try not to cry and then they try to put out

Somebody bless all these girls that I never have met 
But damn you and curse you after all that you've done 
You're the one girl I'll never forget 
You're the one girl I'll never forget 

Somebody bless all these girls and everything that they do 
But damn me and curse me for still needing you 
And I'll kill you if you don't come back 
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
