Usage on Married... with Children[]
In the Season 10 episode, "Turning Japanese", Marcy D'Arcy and her husband, Jefferson, hosts a dinner at their house for Mr. Shimokawa, the President of Kyoto National Bank. Marcy tries to impress Mr. Shimokawa with Japanese themed food and decoration in order to secure the vice president position for herself, but he finds it rather patronizing.
After hearing the sound of a Dodge pull in next door, Mr. Shimokawa reveals that he collects junk cars and orders Marcy to go over to the Bundy Residence and negotiate an offer with Al Bundy. Marcy does so and leaves Jefferson to entertain him, as he sings "I'm So Excited" on a karaoke machine.
Sometime later, Jefferson is heard singing the chorus line to "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", while Mr. Shimokawa thinks to himself "More than life itself", as he picks up a knife and stands up, implying he is going to stab Jefferson to death. Just then, Marcy arrives to inform him that Al is being stubborn.
Lyrics[]
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 fires burning
Choose my colour 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 talking but believe me
If it's 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
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
