He said that he'd call her
she waited all night
put another log upon the fire
she said that it's over
he knows how to get round her
put another log upon the fire
she knows that he's bad
but she can't break the habit
put another log upon the fire
it's too late now
they've got to get married
put another log upon the fire

CHORUS
we must understand that there's always a man
who lives amongst us only to destroy
they mustn't be neglected the weak must be protected
from being tossed around just like a toy

he's off to the pub now
she has to go hungry
put another log upon the fire
she's afraid and alone
where else can she go now?
put another log upon the fire
please don't hit the children
one day you're going to kill them
put another log upon the fire
he's fast asleep now
her face is swollen
put another log upon the fire

she didn't want to do it
she had no other option
put another log upon the fire
she was sure he'd have killed
her she just had to stop him
put another log upon the fire
send her to prison
YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT
put another log upon the fire
the flames burn brightly
keeps us all warm
put another log upon the fire
