Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? by Violent Femmes 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 (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 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

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
