Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'

And I hope that I'm around

To watch 'em knock you down

It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em

Just like you loved me and left me

It's like you to do that sort of thing

Over and over again

You're a fool-hearted man

[Verse 2]

I hear you've been askin' about me

From some of my friends

Well, you'd better believe I'm not goin'

Through that again

You're the kind of man

A woman thinks she can change

Oh, but the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'

And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday

[Verse 3]

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in losin'

Somebody's gonna do to you what you've been doin'

And I hope that I'm around

To watch 'em knock you down

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in hurtin'

Somebody's gonna leave you with your fire burnin'

And no way to put it out

Baby, there ain't no doubt

You're a fool-hearted man

[Verse 4]

Yeah, you're the kind of man (You're the kind of man)

A woman thinks she can change

But the only thing changin'

Is my way of thinkin'

And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday

[Verse 5]

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'

And I hope that I'm around

To watch 'em knock you down

Oh, it's like you to love 'em and leave 'em

Just like you loved me and left me

It's like you to do that sort of thing

Over and over again

You're a fool-hearted man

[Verse 6]

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'

And I hope that I'm around

To watch 'em knock you down

Oh, it's like you to love 'em and leave 'em

Just like you loved me and left me

It's like you to do that sort of thing

Over and over again

You're a fool-hearted man

[Verse 7]

Oh, a fool-hearted man

Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Oh, a fool-hearted man

Hoo-hoo-hoo

Oh, a fool-hearted man
