The Hurt — текст песни (Cat Stevens)

You say you want to seek the truth, but its hard to find

No one to help you, your friends dont have the time

So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio

You want to relate to something you once read in a book

What kind of a way to try to take a look



Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey

Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didnt i

I didnt think of this until I got hurt

till I got hurt. baby. I didnt know what love is



You say you want to learn to laugh cause music makes you cry

But the tears you shed are only in your eye

So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell

But hes just a hoaxer dont you know, selling peace and religion

Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum



Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do

Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didnt i

I didnt think of this until I got hurt

till I got hurt, baby, I didnt know what love is



Young son, dont let me down, young son

Im trusting you to keep on, never turn away now

Hold on, never let go, now hold on

Turn your heart to the bright sun

Love will come your way

Cos till you make that final show

Youll never know what love youve been missing

Missing



You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone

No one to help you and nobody to push you on

So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on

You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day onell come along

(but wishful thinking, boy) any minute now you might be gone

Id like to help you brother but that would be wrong



Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didnt know which way

Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didnt i

I didnt think of this until I got hurt

till I got hurt, baby, I didnt know what love is



Until I got hurt, oh I didnt know what love is
