about

In this 2012 interpretation, I actually added a bridge and a new line of lyrics to the chorus. In addition, I chose to alter the melody of the choruses by lifting to a higher register in parts than in the original version from Dirty Mind. Hope you enjoy the new version!

lyrics

One day I didn’t have a care
Except my picture in the mirror and the color of my hair
I sang along to records about tomorrow
Now my hands are worn, my clothes are torn
A lot of my dreams have been met with scorn
And I don’t have too much time left to borrow

But still I’m gonna love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Gonna open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I’ve never been hurt,
I’m gonna start all over and know what it’s worth
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before

Your stubborn independence
Reminds me of myself
It doesn’t make a lot of sense
It isn’t very good for health
I know you want to be alone
But I sure like talking on the phone
And I’ve finally left my carry-on bag behind me

Yeah I wanna love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I’ve never been hurt
I wanna start all over and know what it’s worth
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before

I’ll start at the beginning
My fear has got no chance of winning
My pride is not what’s deep inside
And I don’t wanna hide anymore

So I’m going to love you like I’ve never been hurt before
Open up the lock and let you in the door
Love you like I’ve never been hurt
We can start all over and know what it’s worth
Love you like I’ve never been hurt before
