The Hurt Lyrics By Cat Stevens

    you say you want to seek the truth
    but it’s hard to find no one to help you
    your friends don’t have the time

    so you ride around in your car
    switch on the radio you want to relate to
    something you once read in a book
    what kind of a way to try to take a look

    until i got hurt i was looking i was on my way
    until i got hurt until i got hurt darling i painted my face gray
    until i got hurt till got hurt why didn’t i i didn’t think of this
    until i got hurt till i got hurt baby i didn’t know’ what love is

    you say you want to learn to laugh
    cause music makes you cry
    but the tears you shed are only in your eye

    so you turn to any phony mouth
    with a tale to tell but he’s just a hoaxer
    don’t you know selling peace and religion
    between his jokes and his karma chewing gum

    until i got hurt i was looking i was the same as you
    until i got hurt until i got hurt darling i did not know what to do
    until i got hurt till i got hurt why didn’t i i didn’t think of this
    until i got hurt till i got hurt baby i didn’t know what love is

    young son don’t let me down young son
    i’m trusting you to keep on never turn away now
    hold on never let go now hold on
    turn your heart to the bright sun
    love will come your way

    cause till you make that final show
    you’ll never know what love
    you’ve been missing missing

    you say you want to seek the truth
    but you work alone no one to help you
    and nobody to push you on

    so you sit at home drinking your wine
    television on you wait for a miracle
    cause you say one day one will come along
    but wishful thinking boy any minute now you might be gone
    i’d like to help you brother but that would be wrong

    so until i got hurt i was looking i was on my way
    until i got hurt until i got hurt darling i didn’t know which way
    until i got hurt till i got hurt why didn’t i i didn’t think of this
    until i got hurt till i got hurt baby i didn’t know what love is oh no

    until i got hurt oh i didn’t know what love is
