Dottie West

A Lesson in Leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you what you've been givin'

And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down

It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em

Just like you loved me and left me

It's like you to do that sort of thing

Over and over again

You're a fool-hearted man.

I hear you been askin' about me from some of my friends

But you better believe I'm not going through that again

You're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change

But the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'

And I'm thinkin' that baby, someday;

Somebody's gonna give' you a lesson in losin'

Somebody's gonna do to you what you've been doin'

And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in hurtin'

Somebody's gonna leave you with your fire burnin'

With no way to put it out

There ain't no doubt

You're a fool-hearted man.

You're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change

The only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'

And I'm thinkin' that baby, someday

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'

Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givln'

And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down

It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em

Just like you loved me and left me

It's like you to do that sort of thing

Over and over again

You're a fool-hearted man.
