The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's give you back what you been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch them knock you down
Oh its like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
Its like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool hearted man
I hear you been askin about me
From some of my friends
Well you better believe I ain't going
Through that again
You're the kind of man
A woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changing is my way of thinking
And I'm thinking that maybe someday
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in losing
Somebody's gonna do to you what you been doing
And I hope that I'm around
To watch them knock you down
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in hurtin'
Somebody's gonna leave you with your fire burnin'
And no way to put it out
But baby there ain't no doubt
You're a fool hearted man
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch them knock you down
Oh its like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
Its like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool hearted man
(Repeat once)
