I Hurt You

The Pretenders

I been crying like a woman 
Because I'm mad, mad, mad like a man 
If you'd been in the S.S. in '43 
You'd have been kicked out for cruelty

I hurt you 
'Cause you hurt me 
So I hurt you 
'Cause you hurt me

I been wondering about your dependency 
Your idea of defiance is a modern day mystery 
Arms and chest are cold 
When your back is on fire 
And the only time 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"

I hurt you 
'Cause you hurt me 
So I hurt you 
'Cause you hurt me

Happy birthday, darling and thank you for the schooling 
Your correction mistress warned me and she wasn't fooling 
Never trust a user with your television overnight 
When the show he wants to video is "Dallas" on a Tuesday night 
Don't try to paint your masterpiece under artificial light
