Yes, I'll take you back again, you knew I would
For I go on loving 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 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 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 hurtin' me
Someone had to teach you things, it's time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me...
