Blindsided

Hey you - what gives?
I guess you know where I live.
Could you pull a punch for a long-lost friend
who didn't know he had to make amends?

What did I do to you anyway?
I don't understand what makes a man carry on that way

I was blindsided - you whupped me good upside the head
blindsided - a little bit harder and I might be dead
Yeah, blindsided - don't you know I was fit to be tied
Never did see it coming - oh no - you hit me on the blind side.

Hit-and-run, slash-and-dash…
I'll give you credit - you didn't take cash
but you left a gash where my heart still beats
disappeared down a one-way street

What did I do to you anyway?
I don't understand what makes a man carry on that way

I was blindsided - you whupped me good upside the head
blindsided - a little bit harder and I might be dead
Yeah, blindsided - don't you know I was fit to be tied
Never did see it coming - oh no - you hit me on the blind side.

Oh no - there you go...
I better think and take it slow...
I won't do to you what I don't want done
(even though you might deserve it, son)

'cause eye for eye leaves us both blind
mercy, mercy - I know vengeance isn't mine

I was blindsided - you whupped me good upside the head
blindsided - a little bit harder and I might be dead
Yeah, blindsided - don't you know I was fit to be tied
Never did see it coming - oh no - you hit me on the blind side.
