Lesson In Leavin’ Lyrics By Jo Dee Messina

    somebody’s gonna give you a lesson in leavin’
    somebody’s gonna give you back 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 foolhearted man

    i hear you’ve been askin’ about me from some of my friends
    well you’d better believe i’m not goin’ through that again

    pre
    you’re the kind of man a woman thinks she can change
    oh but the only thing changin’ is my way of thinkin’
    and i’m thinkin’ that maybe 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’
    and no way to put it out
    baby there ain’t no doubt
    you’re a foolhearted man

    pre
    yeah 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 maybe someday

    somebody’s gonna give you a lesson in leavin’
    somebody’s gonna give you back what you’ve been givin’
    and i hope that i’m around
    to watch ’em knock you down oh
    oh 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 foolhearted man

    somebody’s gonna give you a lesson in leavin’
    somebody’s gonna give you back what you’ve been givin’
    and i hope that i’m around
    to watch ’em knock you down
    oh 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 foolhearted man

    oh a foolhearted man
    oh whoa
    oh a foolhearted man
