I Learned the Hard Way

“I Learned The Hard Way” by Ariel Jade & Wood Newton

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

Sometimes the hard way

Is the only way to go

Took me some time and tears

But now I know —

(Chorus)

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
