You throw your mighty weight around with me
You believe for some reason that you are above me
You yell, you curse, you give silent coldness
The name calling is never ending
You continue to wipe your feet on me
Like as if I am beneath the worms in the ground
You tell me I am worthless, I am nothing
I guess you have to in order to feel big
You tell me I can do nothing
I can never do it right, whatever it may be
You can afford motorcycles and computers
Trucks, video games, whatever pleases you
But there's no money for the doctor or the dentist
God forbid we need new glasses

You've beat me down with more than your hands
Your mouth, ugly words, lies and deciet
Cheating and leaving when the mood strikes
Because according to you I don't deserve better
Your idea of being a man, a good man
Is bringing home the money
Making a house payment paying the cable
You say who cares how you act
As long as I have a roof over my head...
Paid for by 'you'
That without you I would have and be nothing

After all the years of hearing these things
I unfortunately believe them
The more you say I'm worthless
The more worthless I become
I know in my head you are an evil abusive man
But my heart is forever scarred by you
And so believes the lies
After all...if I was worth anything
You wouldn't put your hands on me
You couldn't make me believe I am nothing
You wouldn't threaten my life by cheating
And you would never just keep walking out
There are so many things about you
That aren't good, not in the least
While I've been honest, faithful, kind and supportive
With here and there my temper would flare
I've opened my eyes...
I'm not beneath you any longer
It's you who are beneath me

So after seventeen years..listen loud and clear
I want you to be quite aware
So that you are sure to hear and see my 'kiss off'
