      D#m F# G#      D#m F# G#
I am strong, love is evil
        D#m          F#              G#
It's a version of perversion that is only
               D#m F# G#
for the lucky people
           D#m F# G#           G#       B  C#
Take your time and do with me what you will
         A# C# A#        D#m F# G#         D#m F# G#
I won't mind, you know I'm ill, you know I'm ill

Chorus:
                 D#m F# G#             D#m F# G#
So hit me like a man and love me like a woman
D#m         F#   G#                       G# F#
Buried and sad, look me in the eyes, I want it
                D#m F# G#                   G# B C#
One will give you hell, one will give you heaven
            A# C# A#      D#m F# G#
Hit me like a man, love me like a woman
       D#m F# G#
Love me like a woman

Love is strong, but I am evil
You are wrong about me
Take your time, I'll play with me until
You can hear the children scream,
like they're stuck inside a dream
Then you'll know I will

Chorus:
So hit me like a man, love me like a woman
Bury me alive, I can see it in your eyes,
you want it
Some will give you pain, some will give you pleasure
Hit me like a man, love me like a woman
Love me like a woman

B         F#         C#        D#   C#
Don't you run away, run away from me
B       F#       A#
I will run away  from you
B         F#         C#       D#   C#
Don't you run away, run away from me,
B       F#        A#
I will run away from you

Chorus:
Hit me like a man, love me like a woman
From the devil deep inside, can't you see what
I'm wanting?
Some will give you hell, some will give you heaven
So hit me like a man, love me like a woman
Love me like a woman
Love me like a woman
Love me like a woman, ow!
