Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now I have to take my love away

You see, I could've made it easy

For you to become a part of me

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now I have to take my love away

You see, I could've made it easy

For you to become a part of me

[Verse 3]

Couldn't even say, "I'm sorry"

For all the hurt and pain you caused me

Now I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy, oh yeah

You see, I had enough of cryin'

And I am tired of all the lyin'

See, I refuse to let you take advantage of me, baby

[Verse 4]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Ooh)

Now I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame)

Now I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

For you to become a part of me

[Verse 5]

When I took the time to think of

All the love that we have shared

I realized that most of the time

You were just not there, ooh

It was hard for me to see when

When your love was blindin' me

But now I know I have to let you

Go your separate way, ooh

[Verse 6]

'Cause things will never be the same

'Cause baby, baby you did me wrong

It hurt so bad, I can't move on

Was it worth all the pain?

'Cause baby, baby you got to pay

You got to learn the hard way

[Verse 7]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame)

Now I have to take my love away (Ooh, ooh)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (Oh, oh-oh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame)

Now I have to take my love away (Oh, oh-oh)

You see, I could've made it easy (Ooh)

For you to become a part of me (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 8]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Learn the hard way)

Now I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

Take my love away, 'cause it hurts so bad

You see, I could've made it easy

For you to become a part of me (It's a shame)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame, yeah)

Now I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

For you to become a part of me

[Verse 9]

'Cause things will never be the same

'Cause baby, baby you did me wrong

It hurt so bad I can't move on

Was it worth all the pain?

'Cause baby, baby you got to pay

You got to learn the hard way

[Verse 10]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Oh, oh, I'm gone)

For you to become a part of me (So gone)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Shame you learn the hard way

Now I have to take my love away (Now I'll take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (You did me wrong)

[Verse 11]

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (You told me lies)

Now I have to take my love away (Treated me bad)

You see, I could've made it easy (All of the time)

For you to become a part of me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

Now I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy, babe)

For you to become a part of me

[Verse 12]

Part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me, part of me
