The 4 Of Us - Hurt People Lyrics

Now, gather 'round, settle down
Clear away those toys
Dinner's on, table's set
For seven girls and boys

Grab a chair, sit down there
What kept you out til dawn
That's too late to make us wait
With all that's going on

And I don't know how I could be so cold
With so much love around me
They want to keep us close until we're sleeping soundly
And all I have is questions with no easy answers

I hurt you bad, made you cry
Why do hurt people hurt people
Let you down, I was out of my mind
Why do hurt people hurt people

No, that's not fair, I'm not scared
I've done nothing wrong
Keeping me under lock and key can only last so long

And I don't know how I could be so cold
With so much love around me
They want to keep us close until we're sleeping soundly
And all I have is questions with no easy answers

I hurt you bad, made you cry
Why do hurt people hurt people
Let you down, I was out of my mind
Why do hurt people hurt people
Yeah, why do hurt people hurt people

And the kids in tears for nothing, and show no signs of stopping
Mum quits peeling and chopping, throws him a smile
To the sound of the same old voices
Arguing who's right and who's to blame

No, no, no, no,
More of the same
No, no, no, no, no no
Yeah, why do hurt people hurt people
Yeah

I hurt you bad, made you cry
Why do hurt people hurt people
Let you down, I was out of my mind
Why do hurt people hurt people

Yeah, why do hurt people hurt people
Yeah, why do hurt people hurt people
