Give Him a Little Time

Lyrics

"Did you really mean it?" "I don't say what I don't mean." Then she turned her eyes away She didn't want for him to see her Now he starts drinking "Not again" is what she's thinking "Maybe I should leave and wait this coming storm out at my sisters." Give him a little time He'll take your time He'll take it all He'll take your lifetime Just needs a little work He'll take your love He'll take it all Now he's your life's work Almost out the backdoor--"Bitch! Where do you think you're you going?" Slaps her face so hard she's seeing stars The next blow sets her reeling She's pinned to the floor, legs spread Eyes closed, thinking "Tomorrow will be different Things are always different then..." Blackened eye and swelled lip Bruised thighs, bruised hip-- "Maybe I should leave him--" give him a little time "Maybe now's the time to--" give him a little time
