text: With the world in the palm of his hands
  Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand
  He dont know his hourglass is losing time
  Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind
  Chorus:
  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 hes done her wrong
  Or for every one wondering why shes still holding on
  She could buy that rodeo and shut it down
  Along with every honky tonkin bar in town
  Chorus:
  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 shes still one to blame
  For taking him back and playing his foolish games
  Chorus:
  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
