"How Much Do You Want It To Hurt?"


A little S & M ditty from the Ashley Standing period. It’s not a bad song, but it’s certainly not one I could ever get away with performing. What was I thinking? Maybe I can sell it to Miley Cyrus.

How Much Do You Want It To Hurt?

© 1995 Brian Hutzell

How much do you want it to hurt?
I can satisfy your wish
How much do you enjoy the pain?
How willing to succumb to the submission of my dungeon,
The torturous heaven I’ve devised?
You never realized till now
How being sacrificed empowers thoughts and feelings hidden for so long
Weakness can be strong.  Might can be wrong
How much do you want it to hurt?
Come and select your dessert

Step right up; the circus is waiting
Take a seat; no more hesitating
(Give in)  Give in to the thrill of the show
You’re the star – don’t forget who you are
(Give out)  Give out – oh, the places you’ll go
You’re a hit; it’s a perfect fit
Countdown, blast-off – your baggage cast off

How much do you want it to hurt?
I can satisfy your wish
How much do you enjoy the pain?
How willing to succumb to the submission of my dungeon,
The torturous heaven I’ve devised?
You never realized till now
How being sacrificed empowers thoughts and feelings hidden for so long
Weakness can be strong.  Might can be wrong
How much do you want it to hurt?
Come and select your dessert

Lay down, stay down – I’m asking you nicely
It’s okay to play rough, if you do it wisely

Take your time; there’s plenty remaining
Take a bow: the spotlight reclaiming
(Give up)  Give up all the demons inside
You’re a jerk; you’re a genius at work
(Give all)  Give all to a new sense of pride
You’re the top; you’re the cream of the crop

How much do you want it to hurt?
I can satisfy your wish
How much do you enjoy the pain?
How willing to succumb to the submission of my dungeon,
The torturous heaven I’ve devised?
You never realized till now
How being sacrificed allows thoughts and feelings hidden to emerge
From under the scourge
How much do you want it to hurt?
Come and deserve your dessert
