"Learn The Hard Way" lyrics

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-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-ooh oh)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (it's a shame)
Now I have to take my love away (my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (oh-ooh oh yeah)
For you to become a part of me

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

'Cause things will never be the same
Baby, baby, you did me wrong
It hurt so bad, I can't move on
Was it worth all the pain?
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)
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 (oh)
For you to become a part of me (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

'Cause things will never be the same
Baby, baby, you did me wrong
It hurt so bad, I can't move on
Was it worth all the pain?
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
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'll learn 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

(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)
