Rollins Band: A man and a woman

A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment prisonThey're in love, loveHe's beatin' that woman's head against the fridgerator doorSlammin' that woman's head against the fridgerator doorThey're in love, they're in love, they're in loveHe's beatin' that woman to an inch of her lifeBeatin' that woman to an inch of her lifeBeatin' that woman to an inch of her lifeThe heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the heed and the hateThe heed and the hate make the windows sweat, make the wondows sweatMakes the walls moan, moan, moan, moanNow outside in the hallway al the neighborsFrom all the other apartment building rooms have gathered in the hallwayAnd they're all out there armed with their baseball bats and broomsListening to the man beat the woman to an inch of her lifeNow all the wise guys are in the back takin' betsThe one man says,"I say, he's gonna kill her, my money's down that says he's gonna kill her."And the other man says,"He's not gonna kill her, he's gonna beat that woman to an inch of her life,beat that woman to an inch of her life, beat that woman to an inch of herlife, beat that woman to an inch of her life. That's where my money is, soput your money down, put your money down, put your money down."A little while later the cops comeAnd they come up the stairsAnd they see all the people gathered in the hallwaysWith their baseball bats and broomsSee the wise guys in the back throwin' 5 dollar bills back and forthAnd they say,"Alright, which room is it?"And a few of the people point to the room at the end of the hallThe cops go over there and they kick the door inAnd they see the man beatin' on the woman, slammin' her head up against thewall, beatin' that woman to an inch of her life.And they say,"Hey man, why you beatin' that woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin'that woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin' that woman to an inch ofher life?"And, the man says, get this, the man says...,"That's no woman that's my wife,That's no woman that's my wife,That's no woman that's my wife,And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on."
