I want a girl who hurts me bad.
I want the sunrise to stain my heart with love
I want to wash my spirit in the pure waters of her presence.

And when the sweetness rots my teeth
And they begin to fall out,
I don't want to face the pain

Give me a heavy morphine drip,
Because I have realized,
I want to weave days that will hurt to lose--

I want a girl who hurts me bad.

I want a girl who hurts me bad.
I will trade mistakes for pain
And then surmount a sunny day.

I have taken hard lessons
I have gritted those teeth,
I have known blooms of the goddess of love

Promise me I will go places that make me proud
Before I lay somewhere that makes me sad

I need a radio to play away the blues
'Cause I want a girl who hurts me bad.
