| With the world in the palm of his hands
|
| Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand
|
| He don’t know his hourglass is losing time
|
| Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind
|
| Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
|
| Before they understand the way they feel
|
| Some lovers are slower than others
|
| Some will come around and some never will
|
| If only she had a dime every time he’s done her wrong
|
| Or for every one wondering why she’s still holding on
|
| She could buy that rodeo and shut it down
|
| Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town
|
| Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
|
| Before they understand the way they feel
|
| Some lovers are slower than others
|
| Some will come around and some never will
|
| It may be his fault but she’s still one to blame
|
| For taking him back and playing his foolish games
|
| Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
|
| Before they understand the way they feel
|
| Some lovers are slower than others
|
| Some will come around and some never will |
