The night I will always regret
The night I would want to forget
The night where he asked me dance,
The night I just gave him a chance
The night he held me to the ground,
The night I felt jail-bound
The night he hurt me, hurt me so much
The night I thought I could trust
The night he was ape,
The night, regretful night, I was raped
