If I was smart I would take your advice
|
But I am not and so I have to think twice
|
Never a lesson have I learned
|
Without first being burned
|
|
I was about to tell you the truth
|
All the mistakes of my wasted youth
|
Why I didn't make it home on time
|
But you would have thought I was only lying
|
|
And it's, oh, the troubles I've known
|
I seem to learn everything the hard way
|
I'm not old enough to be on my own
|
But I'm much too old to stay
|
|
I always believed I ran away
|
But now I know you told me to go
|
Maybe it's worked out better this way
|
What could you say I didn't already know?
|
|
And it's, oh, the troubles I've known
|
I seem to learn everything the hard way
|
I'm not old enough to be on my own
|
But I'm much too old to stay
|
|
And it's, oh, the troubles we've known
|
We seem to learn everything the hard way
|
We're not old enough to be on our own
|
But we're much too old to stay
|
