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

And that look on your face tells me you hurt

But you had this lesson coming for so very long

Our sins 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...
