he hit me (and it felt like a kiss)

το he hit me (and it felt like a kiss) είναι ένα τραγούδι που έγραψε το ζευγάρι gerry goffin και carole king και ηχογραφήθηκε με παραγωγό το phil spector το 1962 για τις crystals. σύμφωνα με τον goffin η ιδέα για να γράψουν το τραγούδι δόθηκε από την eva boyd που ήταν η babysitter των παιδιών τους (eva boyd aka little eva, the loco-motion ). μετά από ένα σαββατοκύριακο η eva εμφανίστηκε γεμάτη μελανιές στο σώμα της. "she had this boyfriend and she was off for the weekend and when she came home she was all black and blue. she said, ´he hit me and that must mean he really loves me´¨, είπε ο gerry goffin.

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
But it didn't hurt me.

He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new,
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
And I knew he loved me.

If he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
But he hit me,
And I was glad.

(instrumental break)

Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
And I knew I loved him.
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is,
And when he kissed me,
He made me his.
