Cat Stevens - The hurt
Tekst :
You say you want to seek the truth, but it s hard to find
No one to help you, your friends don t have the time
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didn t I
I didn t think of this until I got hurt
Till I got hurt. baby. I didn t know what love is
You say you want to learn to laugh cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
But he s just a hoaxer don t you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn t I
I didn t think of this until I got hurt
Till I got hurt, baby, I didn t know what love is
Young son, don t let me down, young son
I m trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
Cos till you make that final show
You ll never know what love you ve been missing
Missing
You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one ll come along
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
I d like to help you brother but that would be wrong
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn t know which way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn t I
I didn t think of this until I got hurt
Till I got hurt, baby, I didn t know what love is
Until I got hurt, oh I didn t know what love is

If you wanna be free
Start to be just you
If you wanna beloved
Start to love you too
If you wanna be happy
Start to make it come true
If you wanna be rich
Give away to the poor
[REFRAIN]
If you wanna believe
Then start believing...
You thought we d be fine
all these years gone by
now your askin us to listen
well then tell us bout everything
no lies we re loosin time
Cause this is a battle
and its your final last call
it was a trial, you made a mistake, we know...
Welcome
To the red light world
Come to me child
And show me what you ve got
No need to cry
As you pay
The price for my greed
My lust, my hunger
They came with promises of gold
But there where things untold
Your flesh was bought and sold
And now you dance with the devil at night
The red lights...
Every time I leave
you say you won t be there.
And you re always there.
Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it s alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
echo...
[repeat 4X]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come on
You look at me and tell me
I m turning your temperature up
And you keep touching me in places
That you know you should not
You keep on raking on my back
And kissing me on my neck
Keep on doing that girl
And I hope you don...
