Lyrics
WHEN I MET YOU, YOU WERE SO EASILY DECEIVED -
LIKE A BATTERED DOG, YOU BEGGED ME TO LET YOU PLEASE ME
BUT A BATTERED DOG CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS
AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU?VE TAKEN ALL YOU?LL ALLOW?
AND IF I THOUGHT YOU GAVE A DAMN
I?D CRY: ?BABY, PLEASE DON?T GO~?
BUT IT?S TOO LATE NOW.
WELL I TOOK YOUR LOVE AND PLAYED YOU FOR A FOOL
TAKE AND NEVER GIVE, THOSE WERE MY RULES -
BUT RULES ARE MADE FOR BREAKIN?
AND IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN ALL YOU?LL ALLOW
AND IF I THOUGHT YOU?D HEAR MY WORDS
I?D CRY: ?BABY, PLEASE DON?T GO~?
BUT IT?S TOO LATE NOW.
(Chorus)
TOO LATE NOW -
TOO LATE NOW -
