karen jonas - i never learn lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well the river city diner’s just a half a block away
that’s where you’ll find ’em, they sit there nearly every day
and when the moon’s right he likes to stop by here on his way home

[verse 2]
i don’t know where she goes, i don’t know if she knows
but he leaves his cigarette b-tts and his clothes on my floor
and if he’s feelin’ awfully generous he might leave some money by the door

[verse 3]
just last week i was outside hangin’ clothes
when i heard the gate open and i heard the gate close
he’s as wild as the wind blowin’ in, shakin’ shingles from the roof

[verse 4]
we went inside we went upstairs, he ran his fingers through my hair
he said his woman couldn’t please him and of course he still cared
and i’m a sucker for pretty words but not a stickler for the truth

[chorus]
because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
faster than your old tomcat
he’ll haunt you like a ghost
he’ll promise you the moon
and then he’s gone makes you think you’re the only one
i oughta know better
but somehow i never learn

[verse 5]
i thought of tellin’ his old lady with a letter in the mail
i thought of movin’ in with sister, put my house up for sale
i thought of buyin’ me a shotgun to keep there by the door

[verse 6]
but when it’s been a week or two, i start lookin’ for the moon
i put my best dress on and i spray a sweet perfume
and i pretend to read a novel while i wait on my front porch

[chorus]
because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
faster than your old tomcat
he’ll haunt you like a ghost
he’ll promise you the moon
and then he’s gone makes you think you’re the only one
i oughta know better
but somehow i never learn

[verse 7]
and when i wake up he’s always gone
i clean the bottles off the floor and put my clothes back on
i’m goin’ out today, i’m gonna buy myself that gun

[chorus]
because that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
faster than your old tomcat
he’ll haunt you like a ghost
he’ll promise you the moon
and then he’s gone makes you think you’re the only one
i oughta know better…

[chorus]
but that man is hotter than a lighted cigarette
faster than your old tomcat
he’ll haunt you like a ghost
he’ll promise you the moon
and then he’s gone makes you think you’re the only one
i oughta know better
but somehow i never learn
