Hurt Hurts Lyrics - Mondo Bongo - Boomtown Rats

I don't want to listen 

But I think I see you screaming 

And it hurts. 

Instant Solzhenitsyn 

I get salt mines when I hear your voice 

It hurts. 

Kiss the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue 

I turn off when she turns on 

That's why I'll say 

Hurts hurts. 

Who an' what an' where an' when an' why an' how an' 

Which you bitch 

It hurts. 

The false teeth shake an' rattle 

When the slack mouth tittle tattles 

And it hurts. 

Kiss the hurt on her Kung Fu tongue 

I come off when she comes on 

That's why we say 

Hurt hurts. 

My ears are bleeding 

My stomach's so sore 

I slice the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue 

We come off when they come on 

That's why we say 

Hurt hurts. 

Hard side 

Tough inside 

She cut you with stiletto style 

Boy, it hurts. 

I lick the wound, she tears the eyes 

You scratch her back and she'll claw mine 

That hurts. 

My eyes water 

My mouth's so dry 

Kiss the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue 

I turn off when you turn on 

Then I might say 

Hoit hoits 

Hurt hurts.
