Lyrics and Words About Dating Violence
Maria Wears My Jacket |
| |
Maria wears my jacket
It has my number on it
And she never takes it off
That’s how I know she really loves me
And all my friends know it too
Maria wears my jacket
When she doesn’t I get pissed
Because it means she doesn’t love me
And I make her put it on
And promise never to take it off
Tonight I saw Maria without my jacket
And I screamed and called her a bitch
I told her she didn’t love me
And she just started crying
And I don’t see what’s wrong
Because I really love her
Maria wears my jacket*

| Why Do I Have to Lie? |
| |
I took her in my arms and wiped the tears right from her face
She looked like an angel who had fallen straight from grace
I know what’s going on but I’m afraid to ask
I remember vividly what she asked me last:
Why do I have to cry?
Why do I have to lie?
Why do I have to make him so mad?
Why does he have to hurt me?
Please somebody tell me, what have I done wrong?
She agreed with me she’s got to stand up for herself
If I only knew what I could do to help
I said goodbye, hoping she would understand
The damage he could do to her with his hands
Why does she have to lie?
Why does she have to cry?
Why does he have to hurt her?
Please somebody tell me, what has she done wrong?
It’s in my own tears now that I will start to bathe
I brought a rose today and laid it on her grave
Seems she couldn’t take the blows he had to give
I’d give my life a hundred times for her to live.
Why do I have to cry?
Why did she have to die?
Why couldn’t I have helped her some way?

| Face Down by Red Jump Suit Apparatus |
| |
Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say your right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough.

| Oh Mother by Christina Aguilera |
| |
Whoa, oh, yeah,
She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
And all the things that your money can't buy
She thought that he was a wonderful guy
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
It was the moment she took on his name
He took his anger out on her face
She kept all of her pain locked away
Oh mother, be stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh mother, don't look back
Cause he'll never hurt us again
So mother, I thank you
For all that you've done and still do
You got me, I got you
Together we always pull through
We always pull through
We always pull through
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
It was the day that he turned on the kids
That she knew she just had to leave him
So many voices inside of her head
Saying over and over and over,
"You deserve much more than this."
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
Fighting for the lives of her children
Oh mother, be stronger
From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed)
Oh mother, don't look back
Cause he'll never hurt us again (he'll never hurt us again)
So mother, I thank you (thank you)
For all that you've done and still do (still do)
You got me, I got you, (yeah you got me and I got you)
Together we always pull through.
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother
All of your life you have spent
burying hurt and regret
But mama, he'll never touch us again
For everytime he tried to bring you down
Just remember who stood around
It's over, and we're stronger
And we'll never have to go back again
Oh mother, bE stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh mother, don't look back (oh mother don't look back again)
Cause he'll never hurt us again (cause he'll never hurt us again)
So mother, I thank you (and I thank you for all that you've done)
For all that you've done and still do (together we always move on)
You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you)
Together we always pull through (always pull through)
We always pull through
We always pull through
I love you mom |
