Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
Blue Lagoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 fires 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 is not what you see
It's over again
