hurt you like me
Shane Mack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did he move a bit too fast,
then insist you have another glass?
Did he ask to see your astrological chart?
Did you say that this was fun,
but I've already got someone, yeah
Tell me, did you let him come inside your apartment?

Did he pretend and take you?

Did he bend down for break you?
Did he try to remake you
Into something that you never thought you'd ever wanna be
Yeah

Does he use you just the way that I used to?
Does he work you then re-work you,
while he jerks you?
Does he hurt you like me?
Does he hurt you like me baby?

Did he ask about your meds,
when he saw the bottle by the bed?
Did you go ahead and give him head strong answers?
Did he walk you to the door, yeah
kiss you once and beg for more?
Tell me, did you tell him you're a horrible dancer?

Did he pretend and take you?
Did he bend down for break you?
Did he try to remake you
Into something that you never thought you'd ever wanna be
Yeah

Does he use you just the way that I used to?
Does he work you then re-work you,
while he jerks you?
Does he hurt you like me?
Does he hurt you like me baby?

Does he get you off track?
Lay you down on your backyard swing
And sing a song of yesterday
Finally make you feel the way
You never felt with me

Does he pretend and take you?
Does he bend and break you?
Does he try to remake you
Into something that you never thought you'd ever wanna be
yeah

Does he use you just the way that I used to?
Does he work you then re-work you,
while he jerks you?
Does he hurt you?

Does he pretend and take you?
Does he bend down for break you?
Does he try to remake you
Into something that you never thought you'd ever wanna be
Yeah

Does he use you just the way that I used to?
Does he work you then re-work you,
while he jerks you?
Does he hurt you like me?
Yeah, yeah

Does he hurt you baby?
Does it? Tell me
Does it? Tell me
Does he hurt you?
Does it? Tell me
Does it? Tell me

Does he hurt you?
Does he hurt you like me?

He asks if he moved too quickly, if he also asked to see her astrological chart, or if he had asked about her medications if he saw them by the bed.
