The Hard Way - Frankie

Those summer days were one long holiday

We grew up, roots were laid, the wind blew, we would sway

I said I had feelings and you felt them too

So in springtime, we bloomed but in fall we fell too

Mmh, we fell too

Our troubles started

Like weeds in the garden

They blossomed till it was too late

If we picked 'em sooner

We might have a future

I learned that the hard way

Yes, I learned that the hard way

I was so green, was so young, so naive

Thinking you’d stand forever, my strong giving tree

But your branches fell, and a bundle of cells

Grew like ivy inside you but we couldn’t tell

Our troubles started

Like weeds in the garden

They sprouted till it was too late

If I picked 'em off

Yeah, I might not have lost

Yeah, I learned that the hard way

Yes, I learned that the hard way

Our troubles started

Like weeds in the garden

They blossomed till it was too late

If you pick 'em early

You don’t have to worry

I learned that the hard way

Yes, I learned that the hard way

Oh, I learned that the hard way
