When I first met you, I said I would let you do Anything to me that you wanted to do But it didn't cross my mind then you'd be so unkind And that you would torture me the way you do Cut me down, cut me down from your whipping post Why keep on torturing me Hey, cut me down, cut me down from your whipping post And let my poor heart go free I came to you with honest and true kisses With open arms that loved you the most But you stood there lying, and all the time tying My hands to your whipping post
