Original Lyrics - 1977

What is in there
That makes you wanna hurt me
You keep on trying
Can't you see that it's working
I can't explain why I feel so bad
Instead of hating you I'm just feeling sad

How would it be if I hated you
Laughed at YOU while you try and act cool
Made fun of YOUR clothes on the way to school
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows about you

How will I know if I can live without you
How would it be - would it make me feel cool
I wanna see you die, but I know it'd make me cry
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know

Alternate Verse

What do I feel when I get inside
What sort of pain is really there

How will I know when I get to heaven
How will I tell if it's really God
When will I be in another place yeah
Where can we go to find some love
When will I be in a different story
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know

Final Revision - December 19, 1980

What is in there that makes you wanna hurt me
Keep on trying - can't you see that it's working
What do you feel when you close your eyes
What is in your face and in your mind

I've done everything I could to keep you satisfied
I've seen all of my dreams wither up and die
It hurts so bad I wanna scream at you
Be as mean to you
As you are to me - so...

What is this thing you have that makes me feel so bad
Instead of blowing up I end up feeling sad
I can't help loving you - I know I'm crazy
And it does amaze me
Why do I act like that? And...

Maybe someday there'll be a reckoning
Ooo ooo ooo - it doesn't change a thing
We can't be too long alone
We can't talk on the telephone
Every time we try we end up
Fighting over things unknown
Maybe it's me - I don't know
And I don't care anymore
Just tell me...
....
