[Verse 1]
Doll, you want me strong and easy
? and teasing
I'll be your dream, I'll be
Everybody's transient dream
Sent my best n***s from the Chelsea
It was worth the extra money
Holidaying overhead lighting
Breeze less flattering ?

[Chorus 1]
Why do I keep getting hurt by my own hand?
Why do I keep getting hurt by my own hand?

[Verse 2]
Why won't you still love me when I do not let you touch me?
Why did you deserve me when you grew into a man?
I am not a mother and I do not have a nest
Can't you see my yearning to be free as a protest

[Chorus 1]
Why do I keep getting hurt by my own hand?
Why do I keep getting hurt by my own hand?

Just 'cos I need love don't mean I cannot be alone
I'll shut the fuck up
Not in love ? to uphold
[Chorus 2]
Why can't I be alone?
Why can't I be alone?
Why can't I be alone?
Why can't I be alone?
Why can't I be alone?
