Patti Austin

You Wouldn't Hurt Me

Patti Austin


Loving you came easily
That it made be blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
To understand, I never will
How could it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain

CHORUS:
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door

BRIDGE:
Though somedays the blues was our parade
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find it was an old game of charades...that you played

VERSE2:
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you

Repeat CHORUS to fade
