Whipping Boy
Words and music by Chris Darrow - 1972
Chris Darrow: "The song was written about a strained marriage and I needed to vent my feelings. The term whipping boy comes from the Middle Ages when the rich could pay someone to take their punishment for them, hence, Whipping Boy. The Catholics had something similar in that you could pay someone to eat your sins instead of getting the karma attached. They were called sin eaters."
Well you can need me, well I want you to.
And you can feed me, how I like that too.
But don't you lead me, I won't follow you.
Listen here.
I don't fear.
I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Oh- you can tease me, Oh- how I want you to.
And you can squeeze me, baby I like that too.
But don't you lead me, I won't follow you.
Listen here.
I don't fear.
I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Oh- you can hold me Baby, I want you to.
And you can scold me, yes I like that too.
But don't you lead me, I won't follow you.
Listen here.
I don't fear.
I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Well you can need me, well I want you to.
And you can feed me, Baby I like that too.
But don't you lead me, I won't follow you.
Listen here.
I don't fear.
I don't want to be (your) whipping boy.
