A friend will ask you who made you cry. A good friend will ask who made you cry while loading a shotgun. A true friend will say it's already been dealt with.

Take it all away
Leave me standing
As you beat me in your careless way
And I take in your ranting

Threaten me when you want
Your always so demanding
I'm the one who's hurt
Because of your handling

Never do I get the last word
But I just want to say
Mother why don't you love me?
Am I not okay?
