[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Probably shouldn't down some drinks
And dye your hair in the bathroom sink
It turned out red but I wanted pink
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Verse 2]
At some casino in Kentucky
I thought I was feeling lucky
Went all in, lost all my money
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Chorus]
Ooh, why do I do it?
Put myself through it?
Maybe it's stupid
Yeah
Ooh, life could be easy
If it wasn't like me
To learn from my mistakes
But that's the price I pay
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Met a boy with a reputation
Thought I'd be the one to save him
But I ain't Jesus and he ain't changing
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Chorus]
Ooh, why do I do it?
Put myself through it?
Maybe it's stupid
Yeah
Ooh, life could be easy
If it wasn't like me
To learn from my mistakes
But that's the price I pay
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Bridge]
Come on
It's a hell of a way to learn a lesson
Maybe it's some kinda blessing
As long as that sun keeps on setting
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
[Chorus]
Ooh, why do I do it?
Pull myself through it?
Maybe it's stupid
Yeah
Ooh, life could be easy
If it wasn't like me
To learn from my mistakes
But that's the price I pay
Guess I gotta learn the hard way
