Lyrics In Love With A Violent Man - Stephen Bishop

In Love With A Violent Man

She walks home
From the shop
From the shop
Where she acts out her fantasies
Beauty queen
Dressed in white
On the field
Standing next to Ace Landy
He says, «Kay
«I'm in love… I’m in love and I
Can’t go on without a kiss»
Kay says, «I should say no
But the game is starting
And I love you so»
And now she wants to get
It back again
Take it back to where it was
She wants to love him
Once again
Tell her mama on the phone
She tries the best
That she can
Cause she’s in love
With a violent man
«62"they say I do
And Kay’s Dad buys
Them a house down on Easy Street
Love is fine
For a time
'Till the man she married can’t make ends meet
Years go by
Kids in school
Ace has left his job
For the corner bar
He’s been throwing
Kay down and slapping her around
Late at night
The kids are crying
'Cause Daddy’s gone too far
But still she wants to get it back again
Take it back to where it was… long ago
She wants to love him once again
Tell her mama on the phone…
She tries the best
That she can
But she’s in love
With a violent man
Years go by
Kids are grown
Kay has left Ace Landy
For good this time
Ace calls Kay
At the shop
And he begs her
To take him back
Just one more time
But she don’t wanna know
Now he wants to get it back again
Take it back to where it was
He wants to love her once again
Tell her baby now I’ve changed…
And he tries the best that he can…
