You Been Beatin' Her Down Lyrics

You been rubbing off on her for like a minute or a second

Invasive thoughts grope your mind

You been looking for a woman

Looking for a friend

Looking for someone you could confide in

Someone to hide in

You been beating her down

Oh

You been beating her down

Her eyes green like envy

Skin glowing in the sunlight

Make you feel like the world is empty

When she ain't around

Now you ain't feeling sound

What did you do wrong

Oh, what did you do wrong

You been beating her down

Oh

You been beating her down

I know you don't like the little things I say to you

Sometimes

But, we could darling

We should darling

We could darling

We could

And so you reel her back in

Break her spirit one last time before it all ends

You learned nothing at all

Just couldn't save her after all

You been beating her down

Oh

You been beating her down

Serpentine

Serpentine

Riding up her tail

Baby boy, I know you love her

But it won't end well

No, It won't end well

You been beating her down

Oh

You been beating her down
