Lyrics

Please Hurt Me

If you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me

And if you gotta break a heart, then please break mine

I won't cry if you deceive me, I'll take it with a smile

I know someday you will leave me but at least I'll have you for a while

So darling, if you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me

And if I have to be a plaything, that's what I'll be

Please hurt me, oh, please hurt me, come on and please hurt me

Why don't you please hurt me
