Betcha Wouldn’t Hurt Me

[Verse 1: Patti Austin]
Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain

[Chorus: Patti Austin]
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet you wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door

[Bridge: Patti Austin]
Though some days the blues was our parade
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find it wasn't no game of charades that you played

[Verse 2: Patti Austin]
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you? Whoa-ho
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you

[Chorus: Patti Austin]
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet you wouldn't go, no no
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet you wouldn't go, no no
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
