Why You Wanna Hurt My Heart
By: Arthur Neville
1982
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
When you know that I love you
Everybody 'round us can see
Just how it ought to be
Everybody but you
Played your little game of deception
Soon there's gonna be a connection
When you're blue, oh when you're blue
I know it's just a cryin' shame, nobody left to blame
Nobody but you
If I could turn back
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd do you a favor, straighten out confusion in your mind
In your mind
Gonna see the Voodoo lady
'Fore this thing drives me crazy
Learn what to do, do about you
Mix me up one of her potions, forget about my emotions
Forget about you
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
When you know that I love you
Everybody 'round us can see
Just how it oughtta be
Everybody but you
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
Why you wanna hurt my heart
