Burn Rubber On Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)

Woo, I gave you my money, I gave you my time

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Are you serious, I'm just curious

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Never, ever had a lover

Who put the pedal to the mettle

And burn rubber on me, Charlie

Oh, no

You took my money, you took my time

Made me think everything was fine

Then you upped and ran away

And made me just go crazy

I never, ever had a lover

Who put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie

Oh, no, no, no

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

I never, ever had a lover

Who put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie

Oh, no, no, no

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

You told me to go up the block

And get you a strawberry pop

When I got back to the flat

You had burned rubber out the back

I went to the closet and saw no clothes

All I saw was hangers and poles

I went to the phone and called your mother

And told me you had burned rubber on me, Charlie

OH, no, no

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

I never, ever had a lover

Who put the pedal to the metal

And burned rubber on me, Charlie

OH, no, no, no, no, oh, no, yeah, yeah

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt, me girl

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because your not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl

You took my money, you took my time

Made me think everything was fine

Like the clock on the wall, said ding-ding-dong

Got to find another lover that won't be gone

She won't put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber, burn rubber, on me, Charlie

NO, no, no, no

I never, ever had a lover

Who put the pedal to the metal

And burned rubber on me, Charlie

NO, no, no, no, no, no
