Låttexter: Violent Femmes. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?.

I needed time to realize my crime
it was let me love & steal
I did dances inside my mind
now how can I be real

do you really want to hurt me?
do you really want to make me cry?
no I don t really want to hurt you

then lovers always asked me:
why why why why in my mind my memory's burning
what's your favorite color of your favorite car?
I took a step
the step was learning that that's a step beyond a step too far

do you really want to hurt me?
do you really want to make me cry?
no I don't really want to hurt you

I told the truth but it was still a lie
the words are few
some are unspoken
I could sleep four thousand years
man of sorrows word unbroken
his sweat like blood came down like tears
I've been talking
but believe me
I know that it's true now that there's no more
I don't know
I'm in love and love's the reason I'm not prepared to let you let me go
so if it's love you want
then take all of me
it's this love I want
I can finally see

do I really want to hurt you?
do I really want to make you cry?
yes I suppose I want to hurt you
you told the truth but it was still a lie
