Pretenders — I Hurt You

I've been crying, like a woman 'cause I'm mad, mad, mad like a man If you'd been in the SS in '43 You'd've been kicked out for cruelty I hurt you 'cause you hurt me So I hurt you 'cause you hurt me I've been wondering 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 you've 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 We admired when we were young And our popular points of view Can't mean much Nothing, or something, or anything If we can't say I love you Happy Birthday darling Thank you for the schooling Your correction mistress warned me Man she wasn't foolin' Never trust a user with your television overnight Don't try to paint your masterpiece under artificial light I hurt you 'cause you hurt me So I hurt you 'cause you hurt me
