Hard Lesson To Learn Lyrics - Rod Stewart

I drifted into the notion 

That you were looking for me 

I told myself that devotion 

Would flow from your heart to me 

When I looked into your eyes 

Still no reflection did I see 

Of love light glowing within there 

That I hoped there would be 

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend 

A hard lesson to learn 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Times you gonna get burned

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I took a chance on emotion 

Washing my heart out to see 

A single wave on the ocean 

You feel so distant from me 

And there's a shadow dark upon your smile 

A sadness living in your eyes 

Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught 

Guess I been living alive 

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend 

Hard lesson to learn 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends 

Hard lesson to learn 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

I drifted into the notion 

That you were looking for me 

I told myself that devotion 

Would flow from your heart to me 

But when I looked into your beautiful eyes 

Still no reflection did I see 

Of love light glowing within there 

That I kind o hoped there would be 

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends 

Hard lesson to learn 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah oh 

Sometimes you gonna get what you want 

Sometimes you gonna get burned
