Should've Learned By Now

Roger Creager

Looks like I really screwed up again

Should've learned by now that I ain't never gonna win

I know the reason, I didn't even ask, I've heard it all from relationships past

Now I'm on my own again

But as you leave, I say there goes another good woman

Should've learned by now, that I can catch 'em, but I can't hold 'em

I take it all with a grain of salt, don't worry darlin' this ain't your fault

Sometimes you just gotta know when to fold 'em

Chorus:

Tonight I'm down at the dancehall, I'm a single man

I'll be laughin', and dancin', and knockin' 'em back, and throwin' caution to the wind

You can search my heart for answers, and what I'm all about

These are my ways, I'll never change, you should've learned by now

I still get down when I think of you

I ran you off like a brown card carryin' fool

There'll be no justifyin', not even worth the tryin'

I'm wrong, we both know it's true

You know I'd change if I really thought it'd work

I hate bein' responsible for someone else's hurt

Like an old broken record, I repeat the same mistakes

The flames go up and another heart gets burned

Chorus

And I'll turn it all aro-u--d

Tonight I'm out at the dance hall, I'm a single man

I'll be laughin', jokin', drinkin' and smokin', cuttin' up with all of my friends

And there's nothin' in the world more sad than a broken hearted sinner

Out in the world, here in this bar, tryin like hell to be a winner

Looks like I really screwed up again,

Should've learned by now, that I ain't never gonna win
