In Love With A Violent Man - Stephen Bishop

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…
