Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me) Lyrics By The Gap Band

    woo i gave you my money i gave you my time
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    are you serious i’m just curious
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    never ever had a lover
    who put the pedal to the metal
    and burn rubber on me charlie
    oh no

    you took my money you took my time
    made me think everything was fine
    then you upped and ran away
    and made me just go crazy

    i never ever had a lover
    who put the pedal to the metal
    and burn rubber on me charlie
    oh no no no

    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    i never ever had a lover
    who put the pedal to the metal
    and burn rubber on me charlie
    oh no no no

    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    you told me to go up the block
    and get you a strawberry pop
    when i got back to the flat
    you had burned rubber out the back

    i went to the closet and saw no clothes
    all i saw was hangers and poles
    i went to the phone and called your mother
    and told me you had burned rubber on me charlie
    oh no no no no
    oh no no no no no no
    oh no no no no

    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    i never ever had a lover
    who put the pedal to the metal
    and burned rubber on me charlie
    oh no no no no oh no yeah yeah

    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl
    just because you’re not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    just because your not for real
    why you wanna hurt me girl

    you took my money you took my time
    made me think everything was fine
    like the clock on the wall said dingdingdong
    got to find another lover that won’t be gone

    she won’t put the pedal to the metal
    and burn rubber burn rubber on me charlie
    no no no no

    i never ever had a lover
    who put the pedal to the metal
    and burned rubber on me charlie
    no no no no no no no no
