I Learned The Hard Way Lyrics - Sharon Jones And The Dap-kings

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" 

He 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 eyes 

When I open my eyes 

Clouds of perfume and lies 

And a hotel key 

Clouds of perfume and lies 

Clouds of perfume and lies 

And when I answered your phone 

I heard a gasp and a click 

When I answered your phone 

When I answered your phone 

Ooh, was that wrong number, wrong 

Or was she after your love 

Just to be by your side 

I would walk 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 you 

Just to be by your side 

I would walk 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, 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) 

I won't be your fool 

(Now I know about you) 

Listen, I know about you 

(Now I know about you) 

Your love 

(Now I know about you) 

I wanna go home 

(Now I know about you) 

I know about you 

(Now I know about you) 

I said, "I wanna go home"
