Strips from my flesh.
I want to remind you, want to refresh
Your tore strips from my heart, strips from my flesh
My life was miserable, my life was bleak
I felt powerless, broken and weak
With a tight grip you held the reins tight
Every day, morning, noon and night
You broke my body, soul and mind
With words bitter, cruel and unkind
It didn’t take much to work you into a mood
Lax with the house-work or late with your food
You’d start an argument to whet your appetite
Then you would turn it into a full blown fight
You always took your anger out on me
Inflicted pain onto my body
You forced me into sexual intercourse
Overpowered me with such force
Discarded me as you would crumbs of a plate
Or a piece of meat after it’s best before date
You attacked me with your physical advances
And now you fool, you’ve ran out of chances
Now let me make something clear
Your time of comeuppance is oh so near
I can't wait to serve you that dish of cold
You have been warned, you have been told
There's nothing like a woman scorned
Heed my words you have been warned
Don't think this is an idle threat
You're going to deserve all that you get
If you beg for mercy, I’ll have to decline
At long last revenge is all mine
Your tore strips from my heart, strips from my flesh
My life was miserable, my life was bleak
I felt powerless, broken and weak
With a tight grip you held the reins tight
Every day, morning, noon and night
You broke my body, soul and mind
With words bitter, cruel and unkind
It didn’t take much to work you into a mood
Lax with the house-work or late with your food
You’d start an argument to whet your appetite
Then you would turn it into a full blown fight
You always took your anger out on me
Inflicted pain onto my body
You forced me into sexual intercourse
Overpowered me with such force
Discarded me as you would crumbs of a plate
Or a piece of meat after it’s best before date
You attacked me with your physical advances
And now you fool, you’ve ran out of chances
Now let me make something clear
Your time of comeuppance is oh so near
I can't wait to serve you that dish of cold
You have been warned, you have been told
There's nothing like a woman scorned
Heed my words you have been warned
Don't think this is an idle threat
You're going to deserve all that you get
If you beg for mercy, I’ll have to decline
At long last revenge is all mine
