Lesson In Leavin' Jo Dee Messina Done in C
C Somebody's gonna give you A lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back, What you've been givin'
And I hope that F I'm around, To watch 'em G knock you down
It's C like you to love 'em and leave 'em;
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that F sort of thing, Over and G over again;
You're a fool-hearted C man
Bridge:
I Am hear you've been askin' about me C from some of my friends
Well, Am you'd better believe; I'm not goin' C through that again
You're the Am kind of man, A woman G thinks she can change
Oh, but the F only thing changin', Is C my way of thinkin'
And AmI'm thinkin' that maybe G someday

C Somebody's gonna give you A lesson in losin'
Somebody's gonna do to you, What you've been doin'
And I hope that F I'm around, To watch 'em G knock you down
C Somebody's gonna give you A lesson in hurtin'
Somebody's gonna leave you, With your fire burnin'
And no way to F put it out, Baby, there G ain't no doubt;
You're a fool-hearted C man
