I Learned the Hard Way

Something told me inside

That your love was untrue

(Something told me inside)

(Something told me inside)

You said, "Girl, it's alright, I would never hurt you"

(You said, "Girl, it's alright")

(You said, "Girl, it's alright")

Just to be by your side

I would've walked through the flames

(Just to be by your side)

(Just to be by your side)

Now it hurts me inside

Just to hear your name

Just to hear your name

(I learned the hard way)

That your love is cruel

(I learned the hard way, baby) Not to be your fool

(I learned the hard way)

I learned the hard way about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

When I open my eyes

It was all around me

(When I open my eye)

(When I open my eye)

Clouds of perfume and lie and a hotel key

(Clouds of perfume and lie)

(Clouds of perfume and lie)

And then I answered your phone

I heard a gasp and a click

(When I answered your phone) Yeah

(When I answered your phone)

Ooh, was that wrong number wrong

Or was she after your love?

Ooh, just to be by your side

I would've walked through the flames

(Now it hurts me inside) Just to hear your name

(I learned the hard way)

That your love is cruel

(I learned the hard way, baby) Not to be your fool

(I learned the hard way)

I learned the hard way about you

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about)

Ooh, just to be by your side

I would've walked through the flames

(Now it hurts me inside) Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way

That your love is cruel

(I learned the hard way, baby) How not to be your fool

(I learned the hard way)

I learned the hard way, baby

(I learned the hard way, baby) About you

Now I know about you

(Now I know about you) I know about you

(Now I know about you) Now I know about you

(Now I know about you) Now I know about you

(Now I know about you) Now I know about you

(Now I know about you) Be your fool

(Now I know about you) I said, I know about you

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you)

(Now I know about you) Know about you
