Glorietta, David Ramirez - Hard Way lyrics

Mama's in the kitchen sayin'
"Don't touch the stove"
I never listened to what I was told
I burned my hand, started to cry
My mama said, "I love you boy
Why would I lie?"
Well, I had to learn, the hard way

I fell in love and it felt alright
I felt better runnin' round at night
Gettin' drunk like a country singer
Won't get you a ring on a pretty finger
I had to learn, the hard way
You're gonna have to tell me twice
You're gonna need to hold my hand
Before I ever get it right
I'm gonna be a dead man singin' in my grave
I had to learn the hard way

I'm out with the boys on a Tuesday night
Talkin' shit to a man twice my size
I was kicked in the ribs
And down on the ground
My brother had stitches up and down his mouth
I thought, oh lord when will I stop
Learnin' the hard way?

Oh, you're gonna have to tell me twice
You're gonna need to hold my hand
Before I ever get it right
I'm gonna be a dead man singin' in my grave
I had to learn the hard way

Oh, well have I gone crazy?
Tell me, have I lost my mind?
Thinkin' if it's easy
Well then it's a waste of my time

Oh, you're gonna have to tell me twice
You're gonna need to hold my hand
Before I ever get it right
I'm gonna be a dead man singin' in my grave
I had to learn the hard way hard way
Hard way
