(chorus) Some people gotta learn the hardway I guess I`m the kinda guy That has to find out for myself I had to learn the hardway, Father I`m on my knees and I`m crying for help Now I`ve been high and I`ve been low I`ve been some places that you will not go I never thought there would come the day When I wished I never would`ve lived this way
But I`ve been searching for a long, long time I thought the devil was a friend of mine I turned my back on everything that was true And wasted years that belong to you
(chorus)
It took so long for me to see That I`m a victim of nature and me Left to myself I realize I am the maker of my own demise
But you accept me every time and again And never mention just how selfish I`ve been Why must it always take me so long to see That I have fallen but you will forgive me?
(chorus)
The warning signs are like flares in the night Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire I know that`s bound to burn Why is it that I always gotta learn... The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
