Jörg Kolczak and Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turned my back then you were gone
Standing all alone oh I felt like goin' home
Do you really want to know?
I only went along to be by your side
It seems you didn't want me you don't have to hide it
Now you feed me this line did you have a good time
Do you really want to know?
Then I'll tell you so
You know where you can go
Oh if you really want to know
Do you remember when we got home that night?
We got into bed turned out the light
I rolled to my side you were asking me why
Do you really want to know?
I know it wasn't me you had on your mind
But some little girl you wined and dined
I was takin' her place you were seein' her face
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want to know?
Well I'll tell you so
You know where you can go
Oh if you really want to know
Do you really want to know?
Yeah I'll tell you so
You know where you can go
Oh if you really want to know
Do you really want to know?
Yeah I'll tell you so
You know where you can go
Oh if you really want to know
Do you really want to know?
Well I'll tell you so
You know where you can go
Oh if you really want to know
The lyrics of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" by Jörg Kolczak and Band delve into the complexities of a romantic relationship that is clouded by confusion, doubt, and betrayal. The singer recounts an experience where they were taken to a party with the expectation of dancing the night away, only to end up feeling abandoned and lonely when their partner disappeared without a word. This sense of feeling left out and unwanted is palpable, resonating with anyone who has ever felt neglected or unappreciated in a relationship.
The singer expresses a desire for honesty and transparency from their partner, questioning whether they truly want to know the extent of their feelings and the implications of their actions. The theme of emotional honesty runs throughout the song, as the singer yearns for their partner to address the truth of their feelings and intentions, no matter how painful or uncomfortable it may be. The repeated refrain "Do you really want to know?" underscores the singer's need for clarity and closure in the face of uncertainty.
As the lyrics progress, the singer reflects on a night when they returned home with their partner, only to be met with further emotional distance and detachment. The imagery of getting into bed and turning out the light symbolizes the darkness and secrecy that shroud the relationship, highlighting the lack of intimacy and connection between the two individuals. The singer's realization that they are merely a placeholder for someone else in their partner's affections adds a layer of heartache and betrayal to the narrative.
The chorus, with its repeated questioning and assertion of the need for honesty, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of open communication and vulnerability in relationships. The singer's willingness to confront their partner and demand answers, even if it leads to a painful revelation, speaks to a sense of self-worth and empowerment. Ultimately, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" captures the emotional turmoil and yearning for truth that often accompany the complexities of love and human connection, offering a poignant reflection on the fragility and resilience of the human heart.
