Doves are well known to be a Christian symbol of peace and of nurturing, and so they are emblematic of the “love not war” that the lyrics long for. Although they are not mentioned by name in the song’s lyrics, how fitting for its title!
We've traded places times before
We were built for making love and not for war
I'm screaming, "Fire! Fire!" and watching from the door
I'm feeling burnt clean under your eyes
Putting me out
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, keep from crying
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
And I feel it go
What we held so slow
Goes so quickly
And I need to know
All I need to know
Is the pain of lying
It's just a little too much on my mind, this time this time
It's just a little too much
On my mind mind
And I'm begging you please, singing
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, keep from crying
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, baby don't hurt no more
It's not for you, It's not for you
It's not for you
It's not for you, It's not for you
It's not for you
It's not for you [?]
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
Ooh ooh, ooh baby don't hurt no more
