Hurt Me Tomorrow Lyrics

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can Hurt Me Tomorrow, okay
It's on you,
Uh hu uh hu, oh yeah, okay

I used to be a strange fruit, Billy Holiday
Then you got me by my roots, took the pain away
I tried to question our direction, that was my mistake
I had to ask you where we going baby, Marvin Gaye
I used to do it like Sinatra, do it my way
Now I'm the Fugee of my Lauren Hill that got away
I though we had an at last love, Etta James
But now I'm wondering

If what I heard it's true
Then I know what you came to do
Love may be blind but I'm looking at you
So before you pull the trigger
Did you ever consider

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, you can hurt me tomorrow
Girl save it for tomorrow

If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
Then I will love you till you're old, like you Betty White
You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
But not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
And not the weekend either 'cause I got a song to write
I promise I'mma hear you out when the time is right
Let's have a talk, August 7th, 2099
At your place or mine?

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow

Hey! Why you turn around and walk away
I know you got a lot to say
And I really wanna talk about it
Just not today, not today

Is there an instrument to measure all the heart ache in
A looking glass so we can see where all the magic went
I need a button, I can push so we can start again
'Cause girl you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, you can hurt me tomorrow
But girl save it for tomorrow
