When Are You Ever Gonna Learn

WRITER KRIS KRISTOFFERSON



Look in the mirror, wipe the guilt from your eyes

Take a drink to chase the bitter taste left over from your lies

You go right back to the bottom every time my back is turned

Buddy, when are you ever gonna learn



Bow your head you can't look me in the eye

Because just like me you hate to see a man break down and cry

But you'll go on burning bridges till there's no more left to burn

Buddy, when are you ever gonna learn



Was the thrill worth the gamble that you live from day to day

Does it really hold a candle to the love you threw away

Each night takes you closer to the point of no return

Buddy, when are you ever gonna learn

Buddy, when are you ever gonna learn
