Someone Had To Teach You Lyrics

by: Harlan Howard and Bill Hervey

Yes I'll take you back again you knew I would
For I go on living 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

CHORUS
Someone had to teach you 
I didn't have the heart 
To hurt you just like you've been hurtin' 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've had this lesson coming for so very long
Our sins all have a way of coming home

REPEAT CHORUS
