Some People Know All Too Well How Bad Liquorice, or Any Candy for That Matter, Can Taste When Having Laid Out in the Sun Too Long - And I Think I Just Ate Too Much The Hives

[Verse 1: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
So what?
So what if I was wrong?
I said, "You can't get me
'Cause I am, far too strong"
That's when he hit me
And said, "That's not how it's gonna be"
Then he emptied all my pockets
While he emptied me

[Chorus 1: Howlin' Pelle, Vigilante Carlstroem]
So pick me up, take me in
Got to get away from him
Take me in, take my side
'Cause I really got to hide
'Cause if you don't then I'm through
'Cause no one knows what he might do
Take me in or lock me up
'Cause these beatings got to stop
I think I just ate too much

[Verse 2: Howlin' Pelle]
I
Thought I was through
I was lonely and frightened
Didn't know what to do
He was about to hit me
Ready to bust out all my teeth
If you get a cold it will only be
So much easier to breathe
