Songwriter: Boy George Roy Hay Mikey Craig Jon Moss

Give me time to realize my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real?

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why

In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my color, find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?

Words are few I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow, words are token
Come inside and catch my tears

You've been talking but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything's not what you see
It's over again

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?

A Spanish-born indie singer and songwriter, Russian Red (the nom de plume of Lourdes Hernandez, born in Madrid in 1986) got her start after working on demos with fellow musician Brian Hunt in the late 2000s. The demos would then lead to a deal with Eureka Records, and Russian Red released her first album, I Love Your Glasses, on the label in 2008.
