[Verse 1] Yesterday I was walking down by the silver lake The sky was turning orange like a copy of a dollar'd face My mind was turning cartwheels, thoughts turned into glue Stuck on some reminders, some memory of you Now I'm sitting here wondering just how much I can take [Chorus] Come on over baby, say you've got to wash your hair Went down to your place, can't find you anywhere It don't hurt till it hits you It don't hurt till it hits you It don't hurt till it hits you It don't hurt till it hits you [Verse 2] Well they closed down the factory and moved it to a Mexican state About a thousand angry people stare in to the mouth of fate I saw you riding with some other guy from out of town I started to run and saw a taxi, tried to flag it down But I didn't have no money, guess this time it's just too late [Chorus] Come on over baby, before they disconnect the phone I'm living with trouble like a wife in a battered home It don't hurt till it hits you It don't hurt till it hits you It don't hurt till it hits you It won't hurt till it hits you And then it really, really gets you now [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3] Well I got on a bus and took it out of here I had my suitcase, my git tar, and a full-fledged case of fear They say you wrote me a letter, I know what it's about One way or the other, gotta find a ticket out But that's okay honey, I ain't crying in my beer [Chorus] Come on over baby, guess you know my address Turn left at New York, north by northwest What's that honey? Say they're gonna drop that bomb? Well ain't no news baby, ain't that what's been going on So long... it won't hurt till it hits you It won't hurt till it hits you It won't hurt till it hits you It won't hurt till it hits you And then it really, really gets you down It really got me now, It really, really got me now It really, really got me down, down, down It really got me down
