Lyrics

The next time you decide to hurt me
You better make sure you kill me.
(Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no?)
Oh, you better make sure.

The next time you decide to leave me
It?s gonna be our last good-bye.
(Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no?)
So you better make sure.

You just look at me and my pride slips away.
All I wanted was for you to touch me?
Feel me -
Fill me up inside -
But you?d rather hurt me?
And you?d rather make me beg.

You want a pretty little girl
So you can say she ?belongs to you? -
You wanna put her away in your pocket -
Close her up like a locket?
Take her out
So only you can use
Just for you?just for you?just for you?
Just for you.

The next time you decide that you need me?
Well, I just might not BE me?
Not the one you knew so well?
Whoa, no - oh, no?

You just look at me and my pride slips away.
All I wanted was for you to touch me?
Feel me -
Fill me up inside -
But you?d rather hurt me?
And you?d rather make me beg.


You want a pretty little girl
So you can say she ?belongs to you? -
You wanna put her away in your pocket -
Close her up like a locket?
Take her out
So only you can use
Just for you?just for you?just for you?
Just for you.

So you better make sure
Yeah, you better make sure.
Better make sure.
