K’naan - Hurt Me Tomorrow lyrics

This ain't a good time but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time
And, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

Okay, it's on you aha, okay

I used to be a strange fruit, Billy Holiday
Then you got me by my roots
Took the pain away
I tried to question our direction
That was my mistake
I had to ask you where we going, baby
Marvin Gaye
I used to do it like Sinatra, do it my way
Now I'm the Fugee of my
Lauren Hill that got away
I though we had an at last love, Etta James
But now I'm wondering

If what I heard it's true
Then I know what you came to do
Love may be blind but I'm looking at you
So before you pull the trigger
Did you ever consider

This ain't a good time but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time
And, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, girl
Save it for tomorrow

If you can take a rain
Check on a stormy night
Then I will love you 'til you're old
Like a Betty White
You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
But not on Monday
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, friday night
And not the weekend either 'cause I
Got a song to write
I promise I'mma hear you out
When the time is right
Let's have a talk, August 7th, 2099
At your place or mine?

This ain't a good time but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time
And, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

Hey, why you turn around and walk away?
I know you got a lot to say
And I really want to talk about it
Just not today, not today

Is there an instrument to
Measure all the heartache?
And a looking glass so we can
See where all the magic went?
I need a button I can push
So we can start again
'Cause, girl, you bring me to my knees
Nancy Kerrigan

This ain't a good time but when is it ever?
I know the perfect time
And, baby, that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow
But you can hurt me tomorrow

You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me you can hurt me
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, girl
Save it for tomorrow
