Lesson In Leavin' Lyrics - Dottie West

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' about 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 

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 

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 

Ohh, 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 

Oh, a fool-hearted man 

Oh, whoa 

Oh, a fool-hearted man 

Oh, whoa 

Oh, a fool-hearted man
