Beat Me Lyrics

Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know, I said
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know
I didn't love you
A million times
But now you love me
And it's a crime
Show my momma, how you beat me now
Show my momma, don't you know, I said
Show my momma, how you beat me now
Show my momma, don't you know

Gotta gotta gotta gotta
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know, I said
Beat me gently, beat me slowly, now
Beat me gently, don't you know

I coulda loved you
I didn't try
You made me happy
Oh, I've gotta fly

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sounds like a relationship in which the singer isn't in love but just enjoying, while the other partie is and he understands she's mad about this and let's her cool her anger (gently though...) "I didn't love you A million times But now you love me And it's a crime" Still, though he didn't loved her (he didn't try even) she made him happy and probably still does...
