Culture Club scoort onder leiding van de extravagante zanger Boy George in de jaren 80 grote hits. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me is in 1982 de eerste hit voor de band en bereikt de tweede plaats in de Top 40. In 1983 scoort Culture Club een nummer 1-hit met Karma Chameleon. Verder scoren ze hoog met The War Song, Church Of The Poisoned Mind en Victims. In 1986 houdt de band het voor gezien en kampt de zanger met een drugsverslaving. Hij kickt af en scoort in 1987 een top 3-hit met de single Everything I Own. In 1999 komt de band weer bij elkaar. Hits worden er niet gescoord maar de fans worden op hun wenken bediend.

Songtekst

Give me time
To realize my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fire's burnin'
Choose my color find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step, a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow words are token
Come inside and catch my tears

You've been talkin' but believe me
If its true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
