I LEARNED IT ALL FROM YOU
(Tommy Collins)

Jean Shepard - 1959 (re-recorded 1969)


 

If I'm sometimes unkind and 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 lovin' 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

(Instrumental Break)

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
