[Verse 1]
She bled on the mattress the first night at my studio
I panicked but she said, Baby, don't you know
That blood is much thicker than water
I nodded, but I don't think I got her

Three weeks later she moved into my studio
All she brought was her stereo
A broken stereo and a picture of me
That she put at her bedside

[Chorus]
I'm a lecher
She's a cheater
I let her cut me
She likes to let me beat her
I'm a fucker
She's a screamer
I may be tougher
But she's definitely meaner
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
[Verse 2]
As I slept she burned me so I broke her collarbone
She ran to the neighbor's but he wasn't home
So she hitched to the clinic but they wouldn't accept her
So she called me to get her

Love, she said, is a force that draws me to you
I said, Sugar, I want to believe that's true
She said, Lover, you can trust me forever
Cause we're just getting better

[Chorus]
I'm a lecher
She's a cheater
I let her cut me
She likes to let me beat her
I'm a fucker
She's a screamer
I may be tougher
But she's definitely meaner
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
[Bridge]
I never knew she could be so cruel
I never knew she could seem so beautiful to me
I never meant to hurt her at all
Push came to shove, and she was falling down

[Chorus]
I'm a lecher
She's a cheater
I let her cut me
She likes to let me beat her
I'm a fucker
She's a screamer
I may be tougher
But she's definitely meaner
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
With all of our love
With all of our spite
We go to the mattress
