If I'm sometimes unkind to treat you cruel dear

If I break your heart and make you blue

If I know just what to do to make you cry dear it's because I learned it all from you

I once was so loving and so good to you

Then you taught me sorrow and unkindness too

I admit I've changed but there's a reason it's because I learned it all from you

[ guitar ]

If you hear I've done you wrong don't be surprised now

Most anything you hear now could be true

I tried so hard so long that I've stopped carin' all because I learned it all from you

I learned how to bring you pain and hurt your pride

I know how to make you think you'll die inside

If I know just what to do to make you cry dear it's because I learned it all from you
