[Verse 1]

You take it out on me 'cause you got troubles at home

A big man like?him?better leave my?girl alone

Listen, baby, we can get?out of here

You can take my car and drive away all your fears

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you worry, I

Know just how you feel

You've been hurt before

[Chorus]

Hurt people, they hurt people

Is it ever gonna stop?

Hurt people, they hurt people

So give me everything you've got

[Verse 2]

You might get lost, but you're no loser

And you might get used, but you're no user

And we ask ourselves, what are we doing?

But I'll stick by you, 'cause there's no choosing

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, no, don't you worry, I

Know just how you feel

I've been hurt before

[Chorus]

Baby, hurt people, they hurt people

Is it ever gonna stop?

Hurt people, they hurt people

So give me everything you've got

[Pre-Bridge]

Give me everything, everything you've got

Give me everything, everything you've got

[Bridge]

Some born with a blessing, some born with a curse

Some have it better, yeah, some have it worse

Some are thinking forward but they have it in reverse

No matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse

Some people lie for it

Some people even die for it

They would take your f****** life for it

Some people pay the man in the sky for it

You measure the heart by the size of the man

I measure the man by the size of the heart

We ain't perfect, this is who we are

Help me see the light in the dark (The dark, yeah)

[Chorus]

Hurt people, they hurt people (Yeah)

Is it ever gonna stop? (Ever gonna stop?)

Hurt people, they hurt people

So give me everything you've got (Everything that you've got)

[Outro]

Give me everything, everything you've got

Give me everything, everything you've got

Give me everything, everything you've got

Give me everything, everything you've got
