Oh Donna

Somebody's comin' girl run run run away
Hold on for a fast ride gotta get away
Gotta leave gotta run gotta go gotta get out of here

She's Daddy's little big girl, married to the big man
Money with the big job, money with the right hand
Will shove you through the sheet rock and leave you in a pile on the floor

Oh Donna, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so happy
Oh Donna, he's sorry for the past
He wants to make it last
Forgive him and he'll kill you
With his recipe for love

Gotta knife at her throat gotta bottle at his head
There's a fist through the glass it's busted and red
There's a baby on the floor and she's at the door with the keys

If she doesn't run now she might as well be
Dead on that floor, had to die to be free
Free from him and this nightmare she's become

Oh Donna, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so happy
Oh Donna, he's sorry for the past
He wants to make it last
Forgive him and he'll kill you
With his recipe for love

Time's are tough but it just doesn't matter
Got a jaw made of steel got a back made of leather
If he hits her again it'll damn sure be his last

He tearin' up the pictures, tearin' up the bathroom
Broke the shower door down, thinkin' it'll end soon
The sheets are wet covered with his sweat and lies



Oh Donna, what you gonna do
He did it all for you
You could be so happy
Oh Donna, he's sorry for the past
He wants to make it last
Forgive him and he'll kill you
With his recipe for love
