Nobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt — текст песни (Suzy Bogguss)

(Bobbie Cryner)

She was all alone at half-past four
At an all-night small-town convenience store
When he walked in and locked the door behind him.
She ducked down behind the counter
He said Get up, I know you`re down there
I got a gun. Just hold on, I`ll find it.
He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket
Handed her a note and said, You`d better do exactly what it says...
And she read:

Nobody love, and nobody gets hurt.
She looked at him with a nervous grin
She pointed to that word
He said What the hell? I can`t spell
But you know what I meant.
She said Yeah,
But that ain`t what you said.

She said I don`t think you wanna do this
Sounds to me like there`s more to it.
He said Spare your views on my abusive childhood.
Cause the last time I saw my old man
Was in a photograph in our garbage can
He never gave a damn, so tell me why I should.
And you don`t know the half of all the demons that I`ve battled
You ain`t gonna save me with your mindless psychobabble
I`m damaged goods.

Nobody love, and nobody gets hurt.
And as he walked away in the pouring rain
She still could hear that word
He said What the hell? I can`t spell
But you know what I meant.
She said Yeah,
But that ain`t what you said.

She said Yeah,
But that ain`t what you said.
