If I'm sometimes unkind to treat you cruel dear If I break your heart and make you blue If I know just what to do to make you cry dear it's because I learned it all from you I once was so loving and so good to you Then you taught me sorrow and unkindness too I admit I've changed but there's a reason it's because I learned it all from you If you hear I've done you wrong don't be surprised now Most anything you hear now could be true I tried so hard so long that I've stopped carin' all because I learned it all from you I learned how to bring you pain and hurt your pride I know how to make you think you'll die inside If I know just what to do to make you cry dear it's because I learned it all from you
