Lyrics:

Whispered something in your ear
It was a perverted thing to say
But I said it anyway
Made you smile and look away

Nothing's gonna hurt you baby
As long as you're with me you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

When we dance in my living room
To that silly 90's R&B
When we have a drink or three
Always ends in a hazy shower scene

Nothing's gonna hurt you baby
As long as you're with me you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

When we laugh into the microphone and sing
With our sunglasses on to our favorite songs
When we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on to our favourite songs

My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s hard to deal with, but this song helps some how. My mom is a badass and nothing’s gonna take her from my side.

[gargar]

My girlfiend Lanya and I would listen to this song which would take us away from our horrible realities at home. Her step-father regularly beat and sexually abused her growing up and my uncle that I lived with molested me. When Lanya and I were together all we would do was hold each other and this song brought us together in the moment...forgetting all of the horror we had to face growing up as teens and bringing us to a safe place. It really brought us to a safe and beautiful place. I joined the military at 18 and promised to come back for Lanya after basic training...during my absence she cut her wrist from depression and possibly from more abuse from her step father and was found dead in her bathtub with this song on repeat. I will forever and always have Lanya with me near and dear in my heart. This happened 5 years ago and this song brings me back to the days her and I would just hold each other in our own safe place together. I was always her rock and I wish I was there for her so she could still be with me today. Lanya I will always love and forever miss you!

When I studied abroad in Australia from the US, I fell in love hard with a local Aussie and we dated my entire time there. We were madly in love, but both knew it could never last despite convincing ourselves for months that we’d be together forever. When my visa was about to expire, my boyfriend and I agreed that we’d go our separate ways when the year ended despite our love for each other – we just couldn’t maintain that 18hr time difference/7000 mile long distance at that age in our lives. The night before my flight, we played this song with the fairy lights around the room, held each other and cried and told each other how much we loved each other and our time together. I still remember the way the air felt and the look on his face of love and apology. Even though I’ve moved on, it’s still one of my favorite, most treasured memories and when I want to remember one of the most beautifully bittersweet moments of my life, I play this song. Nothing’s gonna hurt you, baby.

Edit 7 months later: I originally had a 2 months later edit that I deleted bc it was maybe a little cringey. I was overwhelmed with the comment blowing up and all of the support and all of the people who’d shared similar stories. I was also responding to a lot of the people who said that I should try and “make it work”. But I’ll reiterate the basic message I had written before in this spot: thanks for all of the unexpected love and support & I love that this great music has brought us all together, even if you’re just here to shit on me for sharing this on the internet. ❤️ peace and love

Think of this song not as representation of a relationship with someone else, but as a representation of the relationship with your inner self and what that relationship should look like. Be kind to yourself, don't hurt yourself and even if you do, accept that things happen, good and bad, learn from them and be happy for those good and bad moments. Both are essential for a healthy life. No matter how big or bad it is, it shouldn't stop you from being happy with yourself in general and doing good to yourself and others. There will always be happier days ahead of you. Same goes for relationships with other people.

This song just comforts me. Makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.

"Nothing's gonna hurt you baby." Hits different. This song is very comforting.

Whispered something in your ear

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
When we dance in my living room

When we have a drink or three
Always ends in a hazy shower scene
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side
And we laugh into the microphone and sing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs
And we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

WHEN THIS SONG PLAYED IN THE "IT ENDS WITH US" MOVIE I WAS SCREAMING BC CAS HAS FINALLY GOTTEN THE RECOGNISION THEY DESERVE 😭

[fabiomatteodozio]

This song is one of those that make you struggle, wanting to have somebody to dedicate it to.

[ishasolanki]

This is like floating amongst the stars, holding hands, that deep calm moment after an orgasm, sleepless night where you have nothing else to listen to at 4 in the morning but this song on loop.
This song is so vulnerable yet ironically it reassures you, "nothing's gonna hurt you baby".

Cigarettes after sex song actually makes me mentally relax especially when I'm alone at home, and while reading the comments here it actually makes me smile because I can relate to some comments, and cigarettes after sex songs actually helps me to forget some of the errands that I have to do, and it actually helps me to forget everything and everyone that actually hurts me before

[nikitafernandes]

His voice is like honey to my ears.
Music for the soul.

[unicornsarereal]

I used to listen to this song when i was having heavy panic attacks. It was really hard days for me mentally but being alone, having no friends hurt me more than this. I just wanted to someone to tell me nothings gonna hurt you. Now im mentally in better place but still i feel so alone. Today im here to listen to this song bc recent days are so difficult and my friends doesnt even care about me. Im watching one piece to fill the hole in my heart hahaha :) i know one day everything will be ok.
