Seen you on some tough street corners
I'd heard about your childhood traumas, too
And the stories I've been told are all true
And even though you hurt me badly
It seems as if I love you madly
Still, like a spider you move in for the kill
I'd go through the fires of hell
To look at the angel within
You know what I love so well
But the pleasure turns to pain
Whenever I'm in your clutch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
It shouldn't have to hurt that much
You shouldn't have to hurt
Everything you touch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
I knew that when this whole thing started
I'd end up like a slave with my heart in chains
I'm a crazy horse with you at the reins
I wish that something beautiful could happen
But usually you're leaving me black and blue
Lucky thing I know you as well as I do
I'd go through the fires of hell
To look at the angel within
You know what I love so well
But the pleasure turns to pain
Whenever I'm in your clutch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
It shouldn't have to hurt that much
You shouldn't have to hurt
Everything you touch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
I'd go through the fires of hell
To look at the angel within
You know what I love so well
But the pleasure turns to pain
Whenever I'm in your clutch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
It shouldn't have to hurt that much
You shouldn't have to hurt
Everything you touch
Ooh, and it shouldn't have to hurt that much
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
(Ooh, it shouldn't have to hurt that much)
