Hurt Me Tomorrow

This ain't a good time, but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time and, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

Okay
It's on you
Uh, huh, okay

I used to be a strange fruit, Billie Holiday
Then you got me by my roots, took the pain away
I tried to question our direction, that was my mistake
I had to ask you where we're going, baby, Marvin Gaye

I used to do it like Sinatra, do it my way
Now I'm the Fugee of my Lauren Hill that got away
I thought we had an at last love, Etta James
But now I'm wondering

If what I heard it's true (yeah)
Then I know what you came to do (uh)
Love may be blind, but I'm looking at you (you)
So before you pull the trigger, did you ever consider

This ain't a good time, but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time and, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)

You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, girl
Save it for tomorrow

If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
Then I will love you 'til you're old, like a Betty White
You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
But not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night

And not the weekend either 'cause I got a song to write
I promise I'ma hear you out when the time is right
Let's have a talk, August 7th, 2099
At your place or mine?

This ain't a good time, but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time and, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

Hey, why you turn around and walk away?
I know you got a lot to say
And I really want to talk about it
Just not today, not today

Is there an instrument to measure all the heartache?
And a looking glass so we can see where all the magic went?
I need a button I can push so we can start again
'Cause, girl, you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan

This ain't a good time, but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time and, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me (you can hurt me)

You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, girl
Save it for tomorrow
