Hard Way - Glorietta, David Ramírez

Mama’s in the kitchen sayin' «Don't touch the stove»

I never listen, 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 better man

Singin' in my grave

I had to learn the hard way

I’m out with the boys on a Tuesday night

Talkin' shit with 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 better 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 better man

Singin' in my grave

I had to learn the hard way

Hard way

Hard way
