I'm as a plush
As a punching bag
As a giving
As a tree
My tongue is just a white flag
Waving in the wind
And my lips are just targets
Begging begging,
Please please please please
Take your anger out on me!
I can take it
Like a catcher's mitt
And bounce back
Like a spring
Well I know you're not worrying but just in case you're worrying don't fucking worry
Because I can't feeling a motherfucking thing
Please please please
Take your anger out on me!
What am I
Your bottle
Your bottle of rye?
Meant to be pounded
And left out to dry?
My hell my hell
Is just one more damn guy
Saying, "Baby you look fucking good when you cry."
"Baby you look fucking good when you cry."
Ah but now come on!
Really there's no need no need no need
To apologize
Or to try to make it look good, camouflage, dress it up,
Or disguise it
It's as blatant as blatant can be
Even the blind eye you're turning can see
I'm begging you begging you
Please please please
Take your anger out on me!
Hey hey hey!
It's OK!
Hey hey hey!
It's OK!
Hey hey hey!
It's OK!
Because everyone gets a little angry sometimes
Yeah everybody gets the short end of the stick
But YOUR pain YOUR pain is so special, baby
I think I know just the trick:
Please please please
Take your anger out on me!
