I learned it all the hard way
Can't you see that I repented for my sins?
Oh, I sit right here by my window, baby
And I'm hopin' that you'll come back again

Yes, I've learned to regret
But she won't forgive, she won't forgive and forget
Oh, baby
I've learned it all the hard way

This is my true confession darling
That I just can't make it here without you
Oh, I made you lots of promises, baby 
Take me back and I'll make them all come true

Yes, I'm lost without you darlin'
Tell me what else can I do?
Oh, baby
I've learned it all the hard way

If you got a good woman fellas
You better stay at home and give her all your love
'Cause the minute you drive your baby out that door
You gonna have troubles you ain't never heard of

Yes, if you hear my voice and you hear what I'm sayin'
Please believe this time I'm not playin'
Oh, baby 
I've learned it all the hard way

Oh, sometime I wake up in the midnight hour
And my pillow be so wet with tears thinkin' about my 
baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Can't you see that I love you little girl?

Oh, sometimes I walk the streets all night in the rain
Lookin for my baby, alright
Oh, if you come back home to me little girl
I'll never, never do you wrong anymore
