safety word

“Hit me” he said and she gladly obliged
fists shaking with rage, the anger inside
she din’ look like much but she swung like she meant it
outpouring your rage such as you can’t control it

He din’ have to tell her to strike him again
she was goin’ for real now she wasn’t pretendin’
oh his head reeled back as he fell to the floor
twasn’t many a man that could take any more

Come on then come on then
we’ll have a square go
I’ll wear your old boyfriend
and you’ll don your red bow

Come on then come on then
the sun’s yet to set there
don’t stop ‘till you’re smilin’
and everything’s better

Well she continued to pound him right into the floor
But she stopped when she noticed he hadn’t asked for no more
In fact he was silent and had been for a while
And on his dead face was a bloodied red smile

Yes she stopped when she realized what she had done
She’d killed him, her dearest, her one’n’only love
The red film of rage lifted from her brown eyes
And remorse filled her heart as the night filled with her cries

Come on then come on then
we’ll have a square go
I’ll wear your old boyfriend
and you’ll don your red bow

Come on then come on then
the sun’s yet to set there
don’t stop ‘till you’re smilin’
and everything’s better
