Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck

Mommy help me, I need your help
This little boy, he took my love
He says these things that make my body pump up
But then he runs leavin' me undone
And I don't understand
For sex he said he'd be my man

Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (just my luck)

Daddy listen, I gave it up
I'm not your little girl
My cherry, and all the trust is missing
But please listen, what do I do?
I know you wanna hurt him
But I like what he do, he's only doin' what you used to

Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (just my luck)

You never told me 'bout the birds and the bees
Or 'bout hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
Won't you help me decide, what's goin' down in my mind? (Help me decide)

Is it love, or just a curse? (Is it love?)
Do you feel good when I hurt? (Do you, do you feel good?)
I need your heart to open up (I need it to open up)
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (well it's just my luck)

Is it love, or just a curse?
Do you feel good when I hurt?
I need your heart to open up (I need your heart, I need your heart)
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (if it's not real, ooh)

Is it love, or just a curse? (That thing you put on me has got me so confused)
Do you feel good when I hurt? (Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do?)
I need your heart to open up (why's it feel so good, if it's just a curse?)
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck (will it get better, or will it get worse?)

Is it love, or just a curse? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Do you feel good when I hurt? (Does it feel good to you?)
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
