Learn the Hard Way

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Oh-ooh

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now, I have to take my love away

You see, I could've made it easy

For you to become a part of me

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now, I have to take my love away

You see, I could've made it easy

For you to become a part of me

You couldn't even say I'm sorry

For all the hurt and pain you caused me

But now, I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy? Oh, yeah?

You see, I had enough of cryin'

And I'm tired of all the lyin'

See, I refused to let you take advantage of me, baby

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Ooh)

Now, I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (Oh, oh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame, yeah)

Now, I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Oh, oh, yeah)

For you to become a part of me[Verse 2]

Never took the time to think of

All the love that we have shared

I realize that most of the time you were just not there, oh-ooh

It was hard for me to see when

When your love was blindin' me

But now, I know I have to let you go your separate way

This thing will never be the same (Ooh, ooh)

'Cause, baby, baby, you did me wrong

It hurt so bad, I can't move on

Was it worth all the pain?

'Cause, baby, baby, you've got to pay

You've gotta learn the hard way

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame)

Now, I have to take my love away (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (Oh, oh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame)

Now, I have to take my love away (Oh, oh, oh)

You see, I could've made it easy (Ah, yeah)

For you to become a part of me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Learn the hard way)

Now, I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Take my love away, 'cause it hurts so bad)

For you to become a part of me (It's a shame)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (It's a shame, yeah-yeah)

Now, I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

For you to become a part of me[Bridge]

This thing will never be the same

'Cause, baby, baby, you did me wrong

It hurt so bad, I can't move on

Was it worth all the pain?

'Cause, baby, baby, you've got to pay

You've got to learn the hard way

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way

Now, I have to take my love away (My love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (I'm gone)

For you to become a part of me (So long)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Shame you're learnin' the hard way)

Now, I have to take my love away (Now, I'm takin' my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy)

For you to become a part of me (You did me wrong)

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (You told me lies)

Now, I have to take my love away (Treated me bad)

You see, I could've made it easy (All of the time)

For you to become a part of me

It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (Ooh, the hard way)

Now, I have to take my love away (Take my love away)

You see, I could've made it easy (Made it easy, babe)

For you to become a part of me[Outro]

Part of me, part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me, part of me (Part of me)

Part of me, part of me, part of me

Part of me, part of me (Part of me)

Part of me, part of me, part of me (Part of me)
