The Hard Way

You had to learn the hard way
What everybody kno
Y'know I hate to be the one
To say I told you so
You took the hard way
the hard way
The hardest way to go
Don't forget I said it
Please take this tip from me
'Cause I see where you're headed
And that way lies misery
You took the hard way
the hard way
If only you could see
Life could be so easy
And trouble was never too hard to find
It'll find you in time
Life could be so easy
It don't hafta be a losing game
Any fool will tell you the same
Advice is hard to swallow
From anybody else
But mine won't ring so hollow
'Cause I been there myself
I took the hard way
the hard way
So I wish you well
