I Learned It All The Hard Way

I learned it all the hard way

Can't you see that I repented for my sins?

Oh, I sit right here by my window, baby

And I'm hopin' that you will come back again

Yes, I've learned to regret

But she won't forgive, she won't forgive and forget

Oh-oh-oh, baby

I've learned it all the hard way

This is my true confession, darlin'

That I just can't make it here without you

Oh, I made you lots of promises, baby

Take me back and I'll make 'em all come true

Yes, I'm lost without you, darlin'

Tell me, what else can I do?

Oh-oh-oh, baby

I've learned it all the hard way

If you got a good woman, fellas

You better stay at home and give her all of your love

'Cause the minute you drive your baby out that door

You gonna have troubles you ain't never heard of

Yes, if you hear my voice and you hear what I'm sayin'

Please believe, this time I'm not playin'

Oh-oh-oh, baby

I've learned it all the hard way

Oh, sometime I wake up in the midnight hour

And my pillow be so wet with tears thinkin' about my baby

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Can't you see that I love you, little girl?

Oh, sometimes I walk the streets all night in the rain

Lookin' for my baby, alright

Oh, if you come back to me, little girl

I'm never, never gonna do you wrong anymore
