I Learned It Well Songtext
von Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

You′re one lesson, I wish I hadn't learned so well
You′re one story, that it sure does hurt to tell
No matter, how time passes by
The ending, still makes me cry
You're one lesson, I wish I hadn't learned so well
But I learned it well

Even though it′s been some time, since you were mine
It′s hard to believe, that you're just a memory
I remember when you said those words, that I could not believe
But the second time I believed, ′cause, you were leaving me


Oh, and you're one lesson, I wish I hadn′t learned so well
You're one story, that it sure does hurt to tell
No matter, how time passes by
The ending, still makes me cry
You′re one lesson, I wish I hadn't learned so well
But I learned it well

Then you touched my hand and said I've loved you, all I can
Then said you were leaving, but you hoped I′d understand
Just as you turned to walk away, I learned that painful day
Not to hold too close on love, ′cause, it might slip away

Oh, and you're one lesson, I wish I hadn′t learned so well
You're one story, that it sure does hurt to tell
No matter, how time passes by
The ending, still makes me cry
You′re one lesson, I wish I hadn't learned so well
But I learned it well

I can tell, I learned it well
