Hard Lesson to Learn Lyrics

I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to meWhen I looked into your eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I hoped there would beAnd it's a hard lesson to learn my friend
A hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
'Times you gonna get burnedI took a chance on emotion
Washing my heart out to see
A single wave on the ocean
You feel so distant from meAnd there's a shadow dark upon your smile
A sadness living in your eyes
Storm clouds rolling in an out of daught
Guess I been living aliveAnd it's a hard lesson to learn my friend
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want

Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burnedAnd it's a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burnedI drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to meBut when I looked into your beautiful eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I kind o' hoped there would beAnd it's a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burnedSometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burnedYeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah ohSometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
