Violent Femmes - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me lyrics

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 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
