(I've Been) Taught By Experts - Peter Allen

I’ve been taught by experts in the art of cruelty

Now I’m giving lessons free, all it takes is three

I’ll teach you to make friends with pain, that’s lesson number one

No, it’s not much fun, never was much fun

I’ve lost my taste for tears so many shoulders ago

Not sure I still know how to cry

But if you really want to learn I’d try to satisfy

Let’s begin with goodbye

My body is a battlefield I’ve got the scars to show

One for every yes and no, every yes and no

Every yes, no yes

I’ve been taught by experts and here’s lesson number three

Better you get hurt than me, better you than me

I’ve lost my taste for tears so many shoulders ago

I’m not sure I still know how to cry, how to cry

But if you really want to learn I’d try to satisfy

Let’s begin with goodbye

My body is a battlefield I’ve got the scars to show

One for every yes and no, every yes and no

Every yes and no

I’ve been taught by experts and here’s lesson number three

Better you get hurt than me, better you, better you than me
