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
'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
