comments: this cover comes to you compliments of KEXP: literally, as i was pondering what to do for today's post, it came on radio. i take signs from the universe seriously.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
culture club - do you really want to hurt me
do you really want to hurt me

lyrics: 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 fire's burnin'
choose my colour, 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 talkin', 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

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

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

do you really want to hurt me
do you really want to make me cry
