Beat Me Up Lyrics
You like to keep me on a chain, chain, chain
Change your mind or change your ways, ways, ways
You got me running through a maze, maze, maze
I know this isn't just a phase, phase, phase
You always pick me up
And then you hold me down
I'll never let you go
'Cause baby, even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
You always make me do those things, things, things
Shut me up then make me sing, sing, sing
You love it when I scream your name, name
But you get your kicks out of causing me pain, pain, pain
You always pick me up
And then you hold me down
I guess you never know
'Cause baby, even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up
And I really don't care what they say about me
'Cause he gives me everything I want
And they don't know what it's like when you need somebody
To the point they can do no wrong
We always fight and then I open up my door
'Cause baby, even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up
Change your mind or change your ways, ways, ways
You got me running through a maze, maze, maze
I know this isn't just a phase, phase, phase
And then you hold me down
I'll never let you go
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
You always make me do those things, things, things
Shut me up then make me sing, sing, sing
You love it when I scream your name, name
But you get your kicks out of causing me pain, pain, pain
And then you hold me down
I guess you never know
I still love you 'cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that's why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running 'cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up
'Cause he gives me everything I want
And they don't know what it's like when you need somebody

Allison stated on an interview with Michael Slezack on Realite, that this song is not about physical or mental punishment, but in its basic form, this song is about sex.
It's about being so physically attracted to someone they they instantly fuel and eventually gratify your deepest carnal desires. She "screams his name" he causes her "pain." Though not a literal pain, but rather a pain that is desired from being a bit more physical in bed.
This is the way that i gauged the song from the beginning, and though in that interview she doesnt elaborate (what can you expect she's 17 trying to sell records), but this song is definitely geared towards to pleasures and pitys of sex. Enjoy it
In it's most basic form, people are going to take it as a song about sex like "hpman247" stated or domestic violence. Allison herself said it's more psychological or emotional abuse, which is equally wrong as domestic violence. Personally, I know that this happens to tons of teenagers. Girls, for some reason (and I am one and I don't even know why) still like a guy even after he's a jerk to them. This guy could be their boyfriend, their crush, whomever. It's like the quote stating something among the lines of "How could you break my heart, but I could still love you with all the shattered pieces?" The guy could be cheating, not calling, leading the girl on, or even destroy the girl's heart..and the girl, for some reason or another, still loves him. She still thinks he's "everything" even when he's hurt her...ergo the line "And I really don't care what they say about me 'cause he gives me everything I want. And they don't know what it's like when you need somebody to the point they can do no wrong" It's horrible...but it happens.
I completely aagree with your meaning of the song, but I also just want to sat that Allison basically said in her interview with Popeater that the song was about sex. But all songs have multiple meanings and should be taken in as the individual listening sees fit. :)

SO first and for-most I LOVE THIS SONG sooo much!
I think its about a type of hot-n-cold relstionship/ a realtionship that has many ups and downs. I don't think its at all abusive. This is how i would interpret each line of the chorus:
"even though you beat me up" - Basically just going thru hardships "you heat me up, heat me up" - The guy turns her on.. "every time you hit me up" - Calls her. DUH "you fix me up, fix me up" - he makes her happy "Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up" - "emotionally drains her..
