Do You Really Want to Hurt Me Songtext
von Violent Femmes

I needed time to realize my crime
It was let me love and steal
I did dances inside my mind
Now how can I be real?

Do you really wanna hurt me?
Do you really wanna make me cry?
No, I don′t really wanna 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 wanna hurt me?
Do you really wanna make me cry?
No, I don't really wanna 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 (if it's love you want)
Then take all of me (then take all of me)
It's this love I want (this love)
I can finally see

Do you really wanna hurt me?
Do you really wanna make me cry?
No, I don′t really wanna hurt you
Then lovers always asked me why, why, why, why, why, why?

Do I really wanna hurt you?
Do I really wanna make you cry?
Yes, I suppose I wanna hurt you
You told the truth but it was still a lie

Do you really wanna hurt me?
Do, do you want, do, do you wanna hurt me?
