Lyrics
You work hard to keep him happy
Doing dishes, changing nappies
Your working seven days a week just to satisfy
But he don't appreciate ya
All he does is denigrate ya
Girl just how long is it goin' take you to realise
That he'll never treat you right
He'll break you down with each chance that he gets
Now's the time to make your mind up
Leave all that mess behind you
Come and start a new life with me
Chorus
Sugar let me be that Superhero you need in your life
I will wipe away that sadness I can see deep in your eyes
I'm that night in shining armour seen on many movie screens
I relieve you of your sorrow give you cause to smile again
Vs 2
It's a lie
When he tells you that he loves you
I've never known of love to be violent
It's a crime
Everytime he leaves you beaten
So don't try to excuse what he puts you through
Let me open up your eyes
So you can see how true love would affect your life
I'll provide you with security
Give your life stability
Be all that you need me to be
Chorus
Bridge
Let me be the one you lean on
I can be that certain someone
Let me wipe those troubles from your mind ooh
I wanna wipe away your misery
But the decision's your entirely
It's up to you to make the change
Chorus
