Hard Learned Lesson Songtext
von Shakin’ Stevens

Did I hear too many chimes?
Did that clock strike thirteen times?
Is this our room 101?
Can we believe in anyone?

The hard learned lesson in life is who do you trust?

When they knock upon your door
Say no thanks, they know the score
It don′t matter much how they're dressed
Let ′em know you're not impressed

The hard learned lesson in life is who do you trust?


Life ain't all what it seems
They′ll be stealing your dreams
Don′t let 'em sting and deceive you, watch your step
We all know what′s going on
They don't care what′s right or wrong
Truth will change as time goes by
Don't know whether to laugh or cry

The hard learned lesson in life is who do you trust?

Life ain′t all what it seems
They'll be stealing your dreams
Don't let ′em sting and deceive you, watch your step

So don′t go out when the streets are dark
'Cause someone′s looking for an easy mark
Close them in with the rest of the pack
They'll rip that shirt right off of your back

The hard learned lesson in life is who do you trust?

Beware of liars and cheats
It′s not just a trick or a treat

The hard learned lesson in life is who do you trust?
