Abney Park - Beaten, Battered, and Abused lyrics

I feel beaten, battered, and abused
You either treat me like a king
Or else I'm misused
Can't say it means a thing
The way you spin me around
It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down

You say you love me
Then you hold all these things above me
Can't say I love your push that changed me
Into the man that I will never be

I feel beaten, battered, and abused
You either treat me like a king
Or else I'm misused
Can't say it means a thing
The way you spin me around
It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down
You say you love me
Then you hold all these things above me
Can't say I love your push that changed me
Into the man that I will never be

I feel beaten, battered, and abused
You either treat me like a king
Or else I'm misused
Can't say it means a thing
The way you spin me around
It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down

You say you love me
Then you hold all these things above me
Can't say I love your push that changed me
Into the man that I will never be

I feel beaten, battered, and abused
(You say you love me)
You either treat me like a king
Or else I'm misused
(Then you hold all these things above me)
Can't say it means a thing
The way you spin me around
(Can't say I love your push that changed me)
It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down
(Into the man that I will never be)

It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down
It's either your praise
Or you're tearing me down
