|
Jenny's sitting in the car |
|
In the middle of some abandoned Shoney's parking lot |
|
Ripping off the filters off her cigarettes |
|
Crying, he loves me, loves me not |
|
She checks her makeup in the rearview mirror and turns the radio on |
|
It hasn't hit her yet |
|
But all she's looking at is another lonely night coming on |
|
Everybody learns the hard way |
|
The hard way about love |
|
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere |
|
But make no mistake |
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love |
|
Meanwhile across town Tommy's in a dark bar watching some blonde girl shaking all she's got |
|
Out on the tiles, out on the edge |
|
He's gonna give it his best shot |
|
All that hard earned money ever got him was all alone |
|
It's two in the morning and the only thing that's falling is the rain |
|
And it's a long walk home |
|
Everybody learns the hard way |
|
The hard way, yeah |
|
The hard way about love |
|
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere |
|
But make no mistake |
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love |
|
Everybody learns the hard way about love |
|
And in the cold heart light of day |
|
Romeo doesn't always get his Juliet |
|
You take your hands off the wheel |
|
Your eyes off the prize |
|
You'll get a lesson that you won't forget |
|
Down on your knees and regret |
|
Chorus |
