(Harlan Howard)
Yes, I'll take you back again, you knew I would
For I go on lovin' you that's understood
But it's the first time you've come back with tears in your eyes
Lately someone's taught you how to cry
Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
Someone took your heart and rubbed it in the dirt
And you look just like a puppy when it's hurt
But you had this lesson coming for so very long
Our sins all have a way of coming home
Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
