I Learned The Hard Way


I’ll never forget the promise you made
Another one of your fantasies
I’m living with the heavy price I paid
I still can’t believe what I believed
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me

For all the damn money I've spent on you
I learned the hard way
Not enough to get me through
I learned the hard way
Some - times I feel afraid
But I'm taking it day by day
Lord! I've had some Hell to pay
But I learned the hard way

You can't ever pay me back
For loving you more than you loved me
Now that train’s gone down the track
Losing you has set me free
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me

Sometimes the hard way
Is the only way to go
Took me some time and tears
But now I know —

For all the damn money I've spent on you
I learned the hard way
Not enough to get me through
I learned the hard way
Some - times I feel afraid
But I'm taking it day by day
Lord! I've had some Hell to pay
But I learned the hard way
