You take it out on me 'cause you got troubles at home
A big man like him better leave my girl alone
Listen, baby, we can get out of here
You can take my car and drive away all your fears
Don't you worry, I
Know just how you feel
You've been hurt before
Hurt people, they hurt people
Is it ever gonna stop?
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got
You might get lost, but you're no loser
And you might get used, but you're no user
And we ask ourselves, what are we doing?
But I stick by you, 'cause there's no choosing
Oh, no, don't you worry, I
Know just how you feel
I've been hurt before
Baby, hurt people, they hurt people
Is it ever gonna stop?
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Some call it a blessing, some call it a curse
Some have it better, yeah, some have it worse
Some are thinking forward but they have it in reverse
No matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse
Some people lie for it
Some people even die for it
They would take a f- life for it
Some people pay the man in the sky for it
You measure the heart by the size of the man
I measure the man by the size of the heart
We ain't perfect, this is who we are
Help me see the light in the dark
Hurt people, they hurt people (yeah)
Is it ever gonna stop? (ever gonna stop?)
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got (everything that you've got)
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
