(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

And you look just like a puppy when it's 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
