The Hard Way

Thirsty Merc

Here I sit once again
Im missing you like crazy baby
Ive screwed up again and again
Keep making the same mistakes
Dont wanna be an old man
With nothing figured out yet baby
I gotta start some time soon
I wish I never hurt you
I wish I never hurt you

Im doing the best I can
Living like any man
My father used to say to me he said
While youre young,
You gotta learn the hard way, son

I cant call you up to talk
I know youre moving on now baby
Youve learnt to steer real clear
Of guys that resemble me now
But dont I know Im on my own
Its all about decisions baby
This was the ultimate test
Once again I failed myself
And I failed you too
And it hurts like hell

Im doing the best I can
Living like any man
My father used to say it to me he said
While youre young,
You gotta learn the hard way, son

(its the only way youre gonna learn)
