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 darlin', 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
