Lyrics

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I heard my neighbor scream
I ran out in the front yard, still halfway in a dream
Then I saw her on the front porch, and I heard her softly cry
She had a broken arm, a bloody lip and a bruise below one eye
And I said to myself, "My God, he's beaten her Senseless"

I washed her face in my kitchen sink and helped her to my car
And in spite of all her protests, I drove her to the ER
I had to bite my tongue when she told the doctor she tripped
Then her husband came creeping in as they stitched up her lip
She took his hand and gazed into his eyes, it was just so Senseless

I never felt so helpless as I turned and walked away
I searched my soul for something more that I could do or say
I left them there together though I knew the consequence
He must have beaten her Senseless
'Cos going back to him makes no sense

I saw her again this morning, her arm's still in a sling
She acted like it was nothing, as if he hadn't done a thing
Then she looked over my shoulder and quickly said goodbye
And as her husband came driving up, he cursed me with his his eyes
And I said to myself, "My God, it's all just so senseless"
And I said to myself, "My God, it's all just so senseless"
And I said to myself, "My God, it's all just so senseless"
