Don't you hurt me like that
Don't you love me then leave me 'lone
Don't deserve me like that
They say pain is love, but not the love I want
Don't you hurt me like that
Do me dirty like that
'Cause I won't be there waitin' to take you back
If you leave me, I promise I won't be where you left me at (Uh-huh)

Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)

I've cried many old tears
I've lost my mind too many years
Stood by your side
But this time it's different, mmmmmmm
Those words used to cut deep
But now I've learned that it's not me
The table turned
And this time, it's different
I love myself different, so

Don't you hurt me like that
Don't you love me then leave me 'lone
Don't deserve me like that
They say pain is love, but not the love I want
Don't you hurt me like that
Do me dirty like that
'Cause I won't be there waitin' to take you back
If you leave me, I promise I won't be where you left me at (Uh-huh)

Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)

I know that you know I've been there, been through it
Used to take your shit; not this time, won't do it
Won't see me cry no more, I won't be ruined
Love me like I deserve or I ain't foolin' with you
You ain't the only one who's makin' moves
I'm gonna treat myself like you supposed to
Someone will do the things you won't do
It's true, so let me tell you

Don't you hurt me like that
Don't you love me then leave me 'lone
Don't deserve me like that
They say pain is love, but not the love I want
Don't you hurt me like that
Do me dirty like that
'Cause I won't be there waitin' to take you back
If you leave me, I promise I won't be where you left me at (Uh-huh)

Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
Don't you hurt me like that (Whooooa!)
