I'd Rather Hurt Myself

All the talk, that's going around town
About me and Maryann
Is getting you down, down, down
And I'm aware of all your friends
Calling you fool
Trying to show you the place
To wher I'm using you, you, you

After all these years we've been together
I'd know that now, you would know me better
I'd rather hurt myself than hurt you

Now I can understand
You've been all absent
The all town is laughting
And talking behind your back

But I shouldn't have to remind you
How low down people are
They say you've doing good
The better way to tell us apart

Just remember, before you walk out the door
The words I told you, twelve long years ago
I'd rather hurt myself than hurt you, baby

I don't wanna hurt you no, no, no
I'd rather hurt myself than hurt you, baby
I'd rather hurt myself than hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you no, no, no
Because you mean so much to me, baby, baby

And I'll give you all I got
If you want it so
I'd rather hurt myself, hurt myself, hurt myself
Than ever hurt you
