Why, Why you hurt me Willie Mae
I want to know why
Why you hurt me Willie Mae
I want to know why
I remember, when you beat me over and over again
I remember, the strap swinging, and me begging please don't hit me again
With scars on my face I went to school with shame everyday, with pain between my legs I tried to hide and explain it away
Why, Why you hurt me Wille Mae
I want to know why
Why you hurt me Wille Mae
I want to know why
I remember, the torture, and anguish inflicted by you
I remember, blood flowing as I begged tell me what did I do
But I'm a survivor, and you couldn’t break or defeat me break me no, or defeat me
And my faith is higher, than any blow that you could throw Willie Mae
Why, Why you hurt me Wille Mae
I want to know why
Why you hurt me Wille Mae
I want to know why
Swinging and fussing and cussing me out
Showing me just what real pain is about
Call me out of my name grandmother
Telling me I am just trash like my mother
Yeah I saw what you did to my brother
And I’m so glad you’ll never do it to another
What the hell was your problem,
grandmother I just want to know why
