Keep calling her names and get mad when she cries
Keep punching a wall when you're losing a fight
When she gets the nerve and tells you, "Go to hell"
Just say that you'll do something bad to yourself

If you wanna hurt somebody
Leave her lonely
Make her feel like she ain't worth anything
If you wanna hurt somebody
Treat her like me

Make her forget who she was before you
Make all your problems feel like her issues
Convince her her momma's never on her side
Keep being the reason that she hates her life

If you wanna hurt somebody
Leave her lonely
Make her feel like she ain't worth anything
If you wanna hurt somebody
Don't change a thing

You're in control
Make her feel like she will always be unlovable
Just like me
Treat her like dirt
You'll never love her
The way that we know she deserves

If you wanna hurt somebody
Leave her lonely
Make her feel like she ain't worth anything
If you wanna hurt somebody
Treat her like me
Treat her like you treated me
