Violent Femmes - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me lyrics

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
