Nobody Hurts You Lyrics & Chords By Graham Parker & The Rumour

I try to pull my weight, study my geography
It doesn't seem to get me anywhere
I hold a picture up, everybody thinks it's me
I get a thrill out of tampering the atmosphere
Hey baby, I'm out of favor
You can't always be the right flavor
It just seems that no matter what you do
Someone, somewhere's suddenly gotta punish you
Nobody hurts you, nobody hurts you
Well, nobody hurts you, nobody hurts you
Harder than yourself, a harder than yourself
A harder than yourself, a harder than yourself
I once had this dream, woke up with the daily news
And it looked like forever
I had a coffee fix, every item there to choose
All my love came by letter
Suffocating in suburbia
The new estates build claustrophobia
Grandfather's money only in the finest stuff
That's enough, that's enough, that's enough
Well, nobody hurts you and nobody hurts you
Well, nobody hurts you, nobody hurts you
Harder than yourself, a harder than yourself
And harder than yourself, a harder than yourself, hey
You make me tag along, run into the rent-a-crowd
But they're just imitation
I try to write the song, you and me are laughing loud
But it comes out frustration
Look no one's going to illuminate you
All the odds are stacked against you
You're just caving in right there in front of me
It's a picture I don't ever want to see
Nobody hurts you and nobody hurts you
Well, nobody hurts you and nobody hurts you
Harder than yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself, yourself
Harder than yourself
And nobody hurts you
And nobody hurts you
Oh, now nobody hurts you
And nobody hurts you
Harder than yourself
(And nobody hurts you)
A harder than yourself
(Nobody hurts you)
A harder than yourself
(Nobody hurts you)
A harder than yourself
(Nobody hurts you)
Well, nobody hurts you and nobody hurts you
Well, nobody hurts you and nobody hurts you
Well, nobody hurts you
