"He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King for girl group the Crystals under the guidance of Phil Spector in 1962. Goffin and King wrote the song after discovering that their babysitter and singer Little Eva was being regularly beaten by her boyfriend. When they inquired why she tolerated such treatment, Eva replied, with complete sincerity, that her boyfriend's actions were motivated by his love for her.He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)
He says he he hits me 'cause he loves me.
Now isn't that a shame?
How can he say he loves me
And bruise this fine, brown frame?
Don't want no man who's always hittin' on me.
Last man who hit me has been dead since '43.
