John Hiatt Hurt My Baby
No need to be expressive, anyone can see.
The injury was permanent, the wound was really deep.
Doesn’t talk about it much, I listen when she does.
And when she’s in that distant place, I know its just because.
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt my girl,
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world.
She’s developed all these nervous ticks, to prove she’s still alive.
Does 90 down to 0, back in overdrive.
Her sleep is just a nightmare state, she really gets no rest.
Till someone has come forward, till one of us confess.
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt my girl,
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world.
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt my girl,
Somebody hurt my baby,
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world.
