Susan Cadogan sings about the paradox of loving someone who causes pain. The song uses sensual imagery and repeated questions to explore how hurt and pleasure intertwine in romance, with the speaker willing to endure suffering for the beloved.
explaining what you're doing, you see, 'cause it's hurting me so, so good. 'Cause don't you know that it hurts so? Don't you know that it hurts so? Don't you know that it hurts so? It hurts so too. Take my name and you scandalize me in the street. Anything you want to do, And say it's all right with me. Your tongue out of my mouth makes me love to win. Oh, EJ, the way you lick it, show enough good to me. 'Cause baby, all these things you're doing to me, it hurts so bad, but it's worth all the misery. 'Cause don't you know that I'm so— don't you know that I'm It hurts so good, don't you know? It hurts so good, it hurts so good. Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh boy, please don't ever take the good off me. Ooh baby, 'cause it would hurt even worse if you ever, ever believe. Even though sometimes it's hard for me to bear, but I make myself hold out 'cause it kills me. I don't care, 'cause baby, I don't want you to ever forget. It ain't no good to hurt so little bit, 'cause don't you know that it hurts so? Don't you know that it hurts so?
