The Pretty Reckless - Hit Me Like A Man (Lyrics)

[@jenniferrabbitts8346]

Her voice is so raw, and has a great depth and tone to it I absolutely adore her.

[@panzerstrom]

"It's a version of perversion" great line. Amazing writing not only on this but all of her songs.

[@garymeadows3655]

I might qualify as her oldest fan but, at 63 I listen to her and love her writing, singing and if course, her looks. Rock on girl!! I will as long as I'm here.

[@mnaukac2]

My mom: "My daughter is the most innocent and sweet girl ever!" Me, singing alone in my room: *HIT ME LIKE A MAN*

[@Jules999M]

Same sis hahaha

[@LuanaJantz]

😏😎✌

[@alexfpower]

LOL im a guy but brooklyn your comment is....great

[@secretagent0280]

LOL.

[@sabrinagelatina]

"you are wrong about me"

[@jolajoscinska871]

I started listening to them when i was 15...now im 26 and they still are my fav band.

[@P3RP420]

Taylor is my inspiration, I dont know whats more attractive. her voice, her music, her lyrics, her looks, or the way she portrays herself as an artist.

[@rebaner88]

Could someone agree with me that The Pretty Reckless is awesome ?

[@legacygirl19]

they are so awesome

[@samn8088]

I agree

[@acdcgaming9529]

yeah

[@toddlavigne6441]

you bet they are

[@gallowspole4279]

I agree so much man!

[@MrHrannsi]

Ooooohh that riff and voice,heaven to my ears :)

[@pandoramj]

Taylor's voice is unreal, even more considering how young she is. I'm 24 and I never thought I could love some teen's music, but this is so much more than that! They freaking rock!

[@hannahsowerby94]

Got a gig tonight, listening to the Pretty Reckless before makes me feel badass and invincible, thanks guys ;)

[@samc.5455]

Whoa, her voice. It's amazing.

[@jeanirwin6247]

Who else thinks that the pretty reckless and Halestorm should do a duet together.

[@jeanirwin6247]

+l1nfern0l i take it your not a fan

[@jeanirwin6247]

+l1nfern0l I ment more like a concert

[@blake7802]

They were going to perform together at BFD in Dallas but then TPR's drummer got sick

[@jeanirwin6247]

bummer :(

[@looloo502]

I saw them together in Houston, great show!

[@lynxer3743]

I know I'm late but... the masochist in me is SCREAMING

[@kaxike7988]

Wtf

[@nghetruyendenguxc]

This is music, this is music. Finally a singer from this generation who has a voice and sings and writes true music.

[@ditapu2]

Her voice is just amazing!!! She has some range and power and when she speaks she often sounds like an innocent little girl. Haha.

[@einfachich2090]

These lyrics are coming that deep out of the soul. If you haven´t felt like that, you won´t understand.

[@doggointhefroggo]

I really think this is whats missing in todays mainstream music. I dont hate pop, pop rock, or country. But it would be nice to hear some new rock music like this on the radio sometimes

[@Victor.McCann]

There are countries that do play rock and metal music on radio stations but I don't know of any in the US doing it anymore, but I haven't been to every state and town in the US either so there might be some they took all hard rock, glamour rock, heavy metal music off the radio stations were I lived back in 97 or 98 ban all of it

[@QuinferdSpeaks]

Taylor be like: hit me man love me like a woman... I be like: so are you bisexual now or? Can we date?

[@veganhippieusernameopentoc3475]

She's saying to hit her like she's a man and love her like she's a woman.. has nothing to do with sexuality

[@QuinferdSpeaks]

+VeganHippie(username open to change) lol but ....I still wanna date her😂

[@AndYouWillBeWithMe]

Arianna G I feel you :D

[@atticusdalton4129]

Arianna G She actually is bisexual. I wanna date her too.

[@AndYouWillBeWithMe]

Really? My life is complete

[@eveecurtin7569]

Could The pretty reckless please tour with Halestorm? Please

[@franny1373]

Hell yeah.... Would be amazing show....

[@bumblebeefashions]

your wish is coming true this coming spring ;]

[@franny1373]

seriously????

[@bumblebeefashions]

yep! the carnival of madness!

[@sanrihoe698]

I get to see them perform together in May ;D

[@professorturtle5208]

She should've been casted for Harley Quinn. That would've been a perfect fit.

[@itstazzy8055]

YES YES YES YES YES

[@margaridamartins1]

OMG, YES

[@howdouevenusername9164]

she doesn't act anymore so she can continue her music career; she mentioned it in an interview a few years ago

[@LightCometa]

She could definitely portray Harley.. But.. I think she effortlessly looks like the Black Canary. Make-up and the way she dresses.

[@yerzsyeth6387]

I so fucking love u!

[@RavenCon]

Such catchy guitar riffs and bass

[@evehynes6881]

this song is sex

[@TIMETODISARM]

Here's how I (a European) discovered TPR: 1. Noticed the pic: "Hmm looks like that lost-looking Taylor Momsen chick that used to appear in magazines 'n shit". 2. Considered skipping. 3. Didn't. 4. Sceptically told myself: "Well let's see what the fuzz is all about." 5. WOAH!!! This is good: "There's no way that's her doing the vocals, it's just a random pic." * chuckles *" 6. Two minutes in: "It's not her, surely?!" 7. Started doubting, googled: _"The Pretty Reckless"_. 8. Disbelief. 9. Instantly added to bookmarks. 10. Hooked to TPR since. Just a quick reminder not to have any prejudices against anyone, ever, regardless of their appearance or what's being said or written about them.

[@niceabigirl]

+Mnemic This is how I (A fellow European) discovered TPR: 1. Found Gossip Girl 2. Realised she had changed and looked pretty awesome 3. Figured who looked that awesome must do awesome things 4. Googled "Taylor Momsen" 5. Found band 6. Listened to said band 7. Hooked to TPR since

[@2424Lars]

+Mnemic Here's how I (Also a fellow European) discovered TPR: 1. Watched the movie Kick-Ass 2. Heard their song 'Make Me Wanna Die' in the credits 3. Decide one day to listen to the song on youtube 4. Click on their song 'Going to Hell' in the suggestions 5. Fell in love with her voice and their epic guitar riffs! Been listening to this epic band ever since :D

[@denisehermsen7216]

+Mnemic ''You were wrong, about me'' seems very fitting here

[@alexagarcia7013]

Mnemic Did you know she's also the little girl from How The Grinch stole Christmas??

[@sarakelly3214]

Taylor Michel Momsen (born July 26, 1993)[1]is an American musician, singer, model, and former actress. She is known for portraying the character of Jenny Humphrey on The CW's teen drama series Gossip Girl (2007-2012) and Cindy Lou Who in the film How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000).[2] She is also known for being the lead singer and frontwoman of the American rock band The Pretty Reckless

[@beckybyrd4968]

I still cannot believe this is Cindy Lou Who. ;) Good tunes.

[@mugwump242]

Holy crap! This info checks out. Thanks.

[@Crashbanksbuysilver]

I love this woman and the band is awesome.

[@sarasawyer2816]

Her voice is absolutely amazing

[@lesilencegirl17]

I love her voice.. you can feel the passion.

[@paramoreguate]

I don't know why I didn't keep in touch with their music after Light Me Up EP, glad I remembered and found this song :)

[@sz...noseqnombretener4252]

Light Me Up wasn't an EP xD!

[@laurenmann4191]

I think its sexual actually like be rough with her in bed, but treat her like a lady outside of bed

[@hazelsunderstood6784]

I think you're half right. I don't think she means 'treat me like a lady's I think she means the steroitype of a women being loyal but obsessive....like be a man in bed but love me like crazy, like I could/should/would love you. Eitherway, I luv this song :)

[@unicornblood5583]

Freak in the sheets and lady on the streets

[@bigfnrab]

Basically how most women want it.

[@cmdrw2]

They should so pair up with Joan Jett for a song or two.

[@beth5106]

YESSS OMFG YESSSS

[@dakotahnearing4912]

They actually went on tour with joan jett im sure you can find it here on youtube where they sang together.

[@cmdrw2]

wow really? I didn't know that.

[@beckymiller2238]

***** its Taylor Momsen and Joan Jett

[@natsax6351]

+cmdrw2 they do! there is a version of "I hate myself for loving you"

[@DonkeKongChick]

I saw them like 12 years ago touring with Marilyn Manson. It was a really good show.

[@accidentalhappy_27]

[Love] is only for the lucky people.

[@Dennden]

I love the bluesy feel of this.

[@jaybird5589]

the commercial before this though "do you have any advice for girls that are going to prom" cant help but laugh as i wait for 'hit me like a man' to start hahaha

[@shaynerigdon3654]

jaybird5589 worst product placement ever youtube lmao

[@xxNattyBo]

Possibly one of my new favourite songs! Great music, and I love a female vocalist who's rough around the edges.

[@AtomicMama42]

I'm impressed why have I not bothered to listen to them until now? I used to watch Gossip Girl ffs

[@angelmccosky1858]

Little J... What would Rufas do if he could see her now...

[@uinisefaustinafoochong7743]

She writes all her songs one of the reasons why I like her music

[@MCD1211]

She just amazes me. So different from all the other young singers.

[@JapaneseAnkh]

Okay, I am writing a script for a tv show of my own making and this is going to be the theme song, seriously. This is an awesome song.

[@tonnarizzi9354]

one of the best one's I've heard from this band, like the change ups

[@elzagrabinska9005]

It’s 2019 and I am still shaking when I hear this song

[@Sunzu49]

Ah, this brings back memories of when I heard this for the first time live, when I saw them at the Hawthorne Theatre. >w< It was dark and colors were flashing on the stage. Each member came out and we cheered. Then the frontwoman came out, the lights got clearer, and that's when the audience roared! Interesting to hear a song I hadn't heard of before that.

[@vixengold2741]

F*cking yes! This is so me, idek what I am, I'm not a romantic person

[@jessicakuipers1058]

So excited to see them in November omg

[@adindabhadrika]

Like A Man" Ow! I am strong, love is evil It's a version of perversion that is only for the lucky people Take your time and do with me what you will I won't mind, you know I'm ill, you know I'm ill So hit me like a man and love me like a woman Buried and sad, look me in the eyes, I want it One will give you hell, one will give you heaven Hit me like a man, love me like a woman Love me like a woman Love is strong, but I am evil You are wrong about me Take your time, ah, play with me until You can hear the children scream, like they're stuck inside a dream That you, ah, will So hit me like a man, love me like a woman Bury me alive, I can see it in your eyes, you want it Some will give you pain, some will give you pleasure Hit me like a man, love me like a woman Love me like a woman Don't you run away, run away from me, I will run away from you Don't you run away, run away from me, I will run away from you Hit me like a man, love me like a woman From the devil deep inside, can't you see what I'm wanting? Some will give you hell, some will give you heaven So hit me like a man, love me like a woman Love me like a woman Love me like a woman Love me like a woman, ow!

[@TheAnjleen]

she is beautiful, and talented , she definetly deserve more exposure .. :)

[@ostlandr]

Okay, sorry to use this particular comparison, but even Lady Gaga (at the peak of her talent and hotness in the video for "Love Games") couldn't have pulled off this song. And of course nothing LG ever did had the dark, powerful rock sound that TPR has, which makes them even more epic. Taylor seems to be able to do whatever she wants to with her voice, from Lady Gaga to Lzzy Hale to Wendy O. (Sorry, Taylor, there's still only one Amy Lee, as well you know having toured with her.)

[@kota4917]

+Mark Stockman Even though I agree with the fact that The Pretty Reckless is talented, please don't compare the two. They're not even the same genre, not even close.

[@Ash-ph2eb]

Renee Phoenix

[@jeremyanderson6244]

Amy Lee is great, don't get me won't. But Taylor had that raw rock and roll energy we haven't seen from a female rocker since Joan jett

[@tanner1ie]

I've only just come across this song and until i saw the lyric "Buried and sad", written here, i thought Taylor was saying, "Bury it inside" which wouldn't be too far from some of the other song lyrics... :) .

[@giovannihunter5837]

where in the fuck had this song been my whole life? yes... new fan!

[@giovannihunter5837]

You're right, haha this song has an Audioslave feel to it, very nice

[@HunterCee13]

This song is perfect. Thanks The Pretty Reckless.

[@luisjorgemaldonadogarcia3464]

The guitar reminds me of God Is Dead? - Black Sabbath and the best thing is that this song was released one year before

[@Candybabyh]

Spotted. Little J went crazy, and we love it. XOXO

[@1388cookie]

Don't you run away run away from me I will run away from youuuu.. That right there is what I needed to hear.

[@GothicSilverWolf666]

I don't understand how there's all this discussion about the deep symbolic meaning of this song. It's pretty much crystal clear. 'There's a version of perversion that is only for the lucky people'.Hardcore BDSM is considered 'perverted'. Hit me like a man is referring to the violent fetish part of it that only a select group of people enjoy sexually and love me like a woman is referring to the sexual part of it. Together it creates the world of BDSM where pain and pleasure go hand in hand.

[@emerslol]

one of my top favorite TPR songs ^.^

[@MrGauczo]

Taylor is awesome. No one can deny that. Cannot wait for more and more songs.

[@lacytoonstone6806]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it! :)

[@brutelmagic]

for some reason i feel like she sounds like Pink? or is that just me?

[@briantheisen1926]

she sounds a little like her, but pink is a better singer (she has more experience and years in the biz)

[@brutelmagic]

haha i guess that's true, i wasn't meant to upset people with the comment that was just my own opinion that she sounded like Pink.

[@briantheisen1926]

Taylor is great in her own way, So tired of people trying to compare people. When Taylor achieves the amount of success that Pink has then we can have that discussion. Pink is a great songwriter, but also you must consider the fact that they make two different types of music. Its comparing apples to oranges.

[@brutelmagic]

right like i said i didn't mean to "upset people" it was just my opinion. so can we all just not have an argument? yes i said she sounds like pink but i wasn't meant for it to be a bad thing there both good singers,and i like both artists.

[@TOR1HUNTER]

brutelmagic hardly an argument man, just a discussion x
