I Hurt You (August 1982) Songtext / Lyric

I've been crying like a woman

'Cause I'm mad, mad, mad like a man

If you'd been in the S.S. in '43

You would've been kicked out for cruelty



I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me

So I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me



I've been wonderin' about your dependency

Your idea of defiance is a modern day mystery

Your arms and chest are cold

When your back is on fire

And the only time that you come clean

Is when you're talking to your buyer






I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me

So I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me



Forget our philosophies

That we admired when we were young

And our popular points of view

They can't mean much or nothing

Or something or anything

'Cause we can't say "I love you"



Happy Birthday, baby

And thank you for the schoolin'

Your correction mistress warned me

Man, she wasn't fooling

Never trust a user with your television overnight

Don't try to paint your masterpiece under artificial lights



I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me

So I hurt you

'Cause you hurt me
