Dottie West – A Lesson In Leavin' lyrics

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 fool-hearted man.

I hear you've been askin' 'bout me from some of my friends.
Well, you'd better believe, I'm not goin' through that again.
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 fool-hearted man.

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 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 fool-hearted 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.
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you love me and left me.
It's like you to do that sort of thing over and over again.
You're a fool-hearted man.
