Michelle Billingsley - When Will You Learn Lyrics

The way she said "Chicago" made it sound like a swear
Your ears got hot across the bar, finally God was fair
This one was the one to help you burn away your past
Now she's purring like a kitten, but there's silence in your pants
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
She was younger than your sister, younger than alright
You thought life had missed her, it took her dead between the eyes
Now all the chords you've heard cannot fix what's been hurt
So why're you stuck up on this cross? My how the tables have turned.
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
She talked you into a wedding next Friday at 5
Notify your next of kin, find some flowers to spoil that child
You've prayed every night and day for your next big break,
So why're you standing on the highway with your thumb pointed that way?
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
You're a plywood dresser drifter, an unreliable cheat
Your secrets all are worthless, so how you're going to eat
You're a flooded basement laundromat with a broken quarter machine
You say, "guys like you", but you mean guys like me
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
When will you learn
