Lyrics
Has It Ever Occurred To You (That A Girl Can Hurt)
Have you ever wondered why my eyes are blue
When you say you love me only but you're so untrue
Have you ever wondered why it makes me cry
When you say you'll treat me right but it's just a lie
Has it ever occurred to you when you play with feelings
Has it ever occurred to you that can cause some hurt
Has it ever occurred to you that a girl has feelings
And has it ever occurred to you that a girl can hurt
Have you ever wondered why I wear a frown
When you say you're faithful always but you play around
Have you ever wondered why I laugh no more
When you say you'll be attentive but my heart ignore
Has it ever occurred to you when you play with feelings
Has it ever occurred to you that can cause some hurt
Has it ever occurred to you that a girl has feelings
And has it ever occurred to you that a girl can hurt
Are you so blind
That you can't see you broke my heart
Are you so unkind
That you don't care if you tear me apart
Have you ever wondered why I sound so sad
When you tell me that you love me but you treat me bad
Have you ever wondered why my words are few
When you claim you'll listen well but you never do
Has it ever occurred to you when you play with feelings
Has it ever occurred to you that can cause some hurt
Has it ever occurred to you that a girl has feelings
And has it ever occurred to you that a girl can hurt
