Hard Lesson To Learn

I drifted into the notion

That you were looking for me

I told myself that devotion

Would flow from your heart to me



When i looked into your eyes

Still no reflection did i see

Of love light glowing within there

That i hoped there would be



And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend

A hard lesson to learn

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

'times you gonna get burned



I took a chance on emotion

Washing my heart out to see

A single wave on the ocean

You feel so distant from me

And there's a shadow dark upon your smile

A sadness living in your eyes

Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught

Guess i been living alive



And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend

Hard lesson to learn

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned



And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends

Hard lesson to learn

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned



I drifted into the notion

That you were looking for me

I told myself that devotion

Would flow from your heart to me

But when i looked into your beautiful eyes

Still no reflection did i see

Of love light glowing within there

That i kind o' hoped there would be



And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends

Hard lesson to learn

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned

Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned



Yeah, yeah,yeah

Yeah, yeah oh



Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned
