I Learned the Hard Way

Something told me inside
That your love was untrue
You said, girl it's all right
I would never hurt you
Just to be by your side
I would walk through the flames
Now it hurts me inside
Just to hear your name
Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way
That your love is fool
I learned the hard way, baby
To be your fool
I learned the hard way
I learned the hard way about you
Now I know about you

When I opened my eyes
It was all around me
Closed up, doubts and lies
And a hotel key
And then I answered your phone
I heard a gasp and a click
Was that wrong number wrong
Or was she after your love

Just to be by your side
I would walk through the flames
Now it hurts me inside
Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way
That your love is fool
I learned the hard way, baby
To be your fool
I learned the hard way
I learned the hard way about you
Now I know about you
