HURT ME

(Words & Music - Scott Riley)

I don’t command any respect from you I know
But don’t go thinking I’m enjoying this oh no
Do your worst to cut me down
And pull the rug from under me
Take all I’ve got each little thing
And anything to denigrate me
You know how to piss me off

You can’t do to me what ain’t been done before
I’m so used to disappointment and I’m still sore
Bullshit me dupe me up
Makin’ sure there ain’t no cure
Shut me up rip me off
Send me up till I’m inure
You’re still nowhere near it baby

Some come on and hurt me

And a pat on the back is a subtle search
For a spot to put the knife in
So I’ll scratch your back
And you stab mine

Make me an offer I can’t refuse
There must be nothing you can’t abuse
Take me where I’ve never been
You’ll have to dig in harder now
Used up all your credit so
You’re gonna have to earn it now
Well I’m already in pain

So you can’t hurt me
