Doves

We've traded places times before
We were built for making love and not for war
I'm screaming fire! Fire!
Watching from the door
I'm feeling burnt clean, under your eyes
Putting me out
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, keep from crying
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
And I feel it go
What we held so slow
Goes so quickly
And I need to know
All I need to know
Is the pain of lying
It's just a little too much on my mind, this time
It's just a little too much
On my mind
And I'm begging you please, singing
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, keep from crying
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
It's not for you, it's not for you
It's not for you
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more...
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more...
