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.

Something told me inside

That your love was untrue

Something told me inside

Something told me inside

You said, "Girl, it's alright

I would never hurt you"

You said, "Girl, it's alright"

He said, "Girl, it's alright"

Just to be by your side

I would've walked through the flames

Just to be by your side

Just to be by your side

Now it hurts me inside

Just to hear your name

Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way

That your love is cruel

I learned the hard way, baby

Not to be your fool

I learned the hard way

I learned the hard way about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

When I open my eyes

It was all around me

When I open my eyes

When I open my eyes

Clouds of perfume and lies

And a hotel key

Clouds of perfume and lies

Clouds of perfume and lies

And when I answered your phone

I heard a gasp and a click

When I answered your phone

When I answered your phone

Ooh, was that wrong number, wrong

Or was she after your love

Just to be by your side

I would walk through the flames

Now it hurts me inside

Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way

That your love is cruel

I learned the hard way, baby

Not to be your fool

I learned the hard way

I learned the hard way about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

Now I know about you

Just to be by your side

I would walk through the flames

Now it hurts me inside

Just to hear your name

I learned the hard way

That your love is cruel

I learned the hard way, baby

Not to be your fool

I learned the hard way

Well, I learned the hard way, baby, about you

(I learned the hard way, baby)

Now I know about you

(Now I know about you)

I know about you

(Now I know about you)

Now I know about you

(Now I know about you)

Now I know about you

(Now I know about you)

Now I know about you

(Now I know about you)

I won't be your fool

(Now I know about you)

Listen, I know about you

(Now I know about you)

Your love

(Now I know about you)

I wanna go home

(Now I know about you)

I know about you

(Now I know about you)

I said, "I wanna go home"
