"Someone Had To Teach You"

Harlan Howard

Yes, I'll take you back again,

you knew I would

For I go on lovin' you that's understood

But it's the first time you've

come back with tears in your eyes

Lately someone's taught you how to cry

Someone had to teach you

I didn't have the heart to

Hurt you just like

you've been hurting me

Someone had to teach you

things it's time that you knew

Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me

Someone took your heart

and rubbed it in the dirt

that look on your face

tells me you hurt

But you had this lesson

coming for so very long

Our sins all have a way of coming home

Someone had to teach you

I didn't have the heart to

Hurt you just like

you've been hurting me

Someone had to teach you

things it's time that you knew

Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me

Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
