- The Hurt
- You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
- No one to help you, your friends don't have the time
- So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
- You want to relate to something you once read in a book
- What kind of a way to try to take a look
-
- Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
- Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
- Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
- I didn't think of this until I got hurt
- 'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is
-
- You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
- But the tears you shed are only in your eye
- So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
- But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
- Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
-
- Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
- Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
- Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
- I didn't think of this until I got hurt
- 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
-
- Young son, don't let me down, young son
- I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
- Hold on, never let go, now hold on
- Turn your heart to the bright sun
- Love will come your way
- Cos 'till you make that final show
- You'll never know what love you've been missing
- Missing
-
- You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
- No one to help you and nobody to push you on
- So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
- You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along
- (But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
- I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
-
- Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
- Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
- Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
- I didn't think of this until I got hurt
- 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
-
- Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
