Hard Way [Michelle's Album Version] Letra

If I was smart I would take your advice But I am not so I have to think twice Never a lesson have I learned Without first being burned And it's, oh, the troubles I've known I seem to learn everything the hard way I'm not old enough to be on my own But I'm much too old to stay I always believed I ran away But now I know that you told me to go Maybe it's worked out better this way What could you say I didn't already know? And it's, oh, the troubles I've known I seem to learn everything the hard way I'm not old enough to be on my own But I'm much too old to stay And it's, oh, the troubles we've known We seem to learn everything the hard way We're not old enough to be on our own But we're much too old to stay
