Shadow of a Man

Take it by your bruises he's been workin' hard on ya Feedin' you this bullshit why he needs to take it out on ya I've seen this all before Slaps you then calls you whore You need to leave him darlin' don't let this go on Take it by your bleedin' he's been beatin' strong on ya Tellin' me this bullshit you can't live without his arm on ya I've heard this all before Can't nobody help no more You need to leave him darlin' don't let this go on I know you've known him for so long But the one that you love is gone And left is a Shadow of a man You need to stop baby think about yourself Are you happy with the way that he's been treatin' you like hell You need to stop baby think about your child Are you happy with the way that he's been givin' her the belt One day you'll look back and you'll cry You'll have a new man by your side He'll treat that precious ass so well One day you'll look back at this hell
