No need to be expressive, anyone can see
The injury was permanent, the wound was really deep
Doesn?t talk about it much, I listen when she does
And when she?s in that distant place, I know its just because

Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt my girl
Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world

She?s developed all these nervous ticks, to prove she?s still alive
Does 90 down to 0, back in overdrive
Her sleep is just a nightmare state, she really gets no rest
Till someone has come forward, till one of us confess

Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt my girl
Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world

Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt my girl
Somebody hurt my baby
Somebody hurt somebody in this mean old world
