[Chorus]
Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck

[Verse 1]
Mommy, help me, I need your help
This little boy, he took my love
And he says these things that make my body pump up
But then he runs, leaving me un-done
And I don't understand
For sex, he said he'd be my man

[Chorus]
Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (Just my luck)

[Verse 2]
Daddy, listen, I gave it up
I'm not your little girl
My cherry and all the trust is missing
But please listen, what do I do?
I know you wanna hurt him
But I like what he do, he's only doing what you used to

[Chorus]
Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (Just my luck)

[Bridge]
You never told me about the birds and the bees
Or about hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
Won't you help me decide, what's goin' down in my mind?

[Chorus]
Is it love, or just a curse? (So is it, is it love?)
Do you feel good when I hurt? (Do you, do you feel good?)
I need your heart to open up (I need you to open up)
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (Well, it's just my luck)
Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up (I need your heart)
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (Is it not real? Oh)

[Outro]
(Is it love, or just a curse?)
That thing you're putting on me has got me so confused
(Do you feel good when I hurt?)
Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do?
(I need your heart to open up)
In my heart it feels so good, is it just a curse?
(If this love's not real, then it's just my luck)
Will it get better, or will it get worse? (Will it get worse)
Is it love, or just a curse? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Do you feel good when I hurt? (Does it feel good?)
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
