(John Waite/Jeffrey Steele)
|
|
Jenny's sitting in the car
|
In the middle of some abandoned Shoney's parking lot
|
Ripping off the filters off her cigarettes
|
Crying, he loves me, loves me not
|
She checks her makeup in the rearview mirror and turns the radio on
|
It hasn't hit her yet
|
But all she's looking at is another lonely night coming on
|
|
Everybody learns the hard way
|
The hard way about love
|
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere
|
But make no mistake
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love
|
|
Meanwhile across town Tommy's in a dark bar watching some blonde girl shaking all she's got
|
Out on the tiles, out on the edge
|
He's gonna give it his best shot
|
All that hard earned money ever got him was all alone
|
It's two in the morning and the only thing that's falling is the rain
|
And it's a long walk home
|
|
Everybody learns the hard way
|
The hard way, yeah
|
The hard way about love
|
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere
|
But make no mistake
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love
|
|
And in the cold heart light of day
|
Romeo doesn't always get his Juliet
|
You take your hands off the wheel
|
Your eyes off the prize
|
You'll get a lesson that you won't forget
|
Down on your knees and regret
|
|
Chorus
