“A Lesson In Leavin'” Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
A woman thinks she can change
Oh, but the only thing changin’ is my way of thinkin’
And I’m thinkin’ that maybe someday
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 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
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
Yeah, 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
A woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin’ is my way of thinkin’
And I’m thinkin’ that maybe someday
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
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
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
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
Somebody’s gonna give you back what you’ve been givin’
And I hope that I’m around
To watch ’em knock you down
Ohh, 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
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
Oh, a fool-hearted man
Oh, whoa
Oh, a fool-hearted man
Oh, whoa
Oh, a fool-hearted man
Oh, whoa
Oh, a fool-hearted man
Oh, whoa
Oh, a fool-hearted man
