Jo Dee Messina - Lesson In Leavin' Lyrics






Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man

I hear you've been askin' about me
From some of my friends
Well you'd better believe I'm not goin'
Through that again
You're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change.
Oh, but the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday

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

Yeah, you're the kind of man
A woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin'
Is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man

Oh, a fool-hearted man
Oh, whoa
Oh, a fool-hearted man

    LOUISIANIMAL 2019

  49. D.... E....

    To anyone who left me

  50. T.... H....

    My ex leaves every woman he's with and blames it on them. He ruins their reputation all over town and makes them look like the dirty whore they are not. He cheated shortly after we lost our first child. Karma is bitch. I have moved on, and he regrets ever letting me go.

  51. B.... S....

    To my ex husbend alan speirs 2 hope you get urs soon

  52. L.... F....

    Ha Ha Screwed up homosexual ROBERT ILICIC . SCORPION CONMAN. Screws his daughters for excitement. SICKO. Screws Asian prostitutes and is married to Patricia. I think its time for Lorena Bobit.

  53. J.... L....

    This is to my ex who tried to kill me multiple times and the guy who slit my throat and I turn around and cut your dick. I'm glad you finally got what you deserve... He was raped in prison after raping me and I'm glad I told your dad and I'm glad he sent me the proof of you being raped.

  54. L.... J....

    Lord yes I just had the worst relationship I've ever had in my life and I will be here to see you this is the best song I could even send you but I'm not going to do that it's going to happen and it's going to be epic on my part life is good the Cable Guy

  55. L.... J....

    This is a song that me and my sister used to sing at karaoke. It was badass 15-20 years ago and it still is

  56. J.... B....

    15:34 10/9^18 18:21 11/19*18 1:17 1/12/19

  57. A.... D....

    Wow some bitter women on this comment section. WE men move on while y'all stay vindictive & when a good man does come along you sometimes hold him accountable or are suspicious of things he hasn't even done.
    Its a good song but gotta say Dottie sang it better, with more feeling & the instrument arrangement was twice as good as this version.

  58. J.... M....

    Finally someone who has almost the same name as meee.

  59. S.... ....

    Still a damn good song
    I played it for my boyfriend before I left him

  60. T.... H....

    My ex leaves any woman he is with. He left his children when they were young. Now he has left me knowing I am carrying his child. I hope one day karma bites him hard.

    T.... H....

    I hope Kramer bites him in the ass your not along mine just lift me and am pregnant with twins

  61. D.... S....

    lmao please seek help

  62. K.... L....

    One bad arse song, in my opinion . . Bwahahaaa

  63. D.... K....

    Another good song by Jo Dee..

  64. R.... L....

    ❤️❤️❤️💯💯

  65. T.... H....

    I dedicate this to my ex, who left when I needed him the most-right after a miscarriage- and tried leaving after our second miscarriage.

  66. R.... M....

    I'VE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE I WAS (4) Y.R.S OLD

    R.... M....

    & I WILL LOVE IT AND OTHER COUNTRY MUSIC SONGS SUCH AS CADILLAC RANCH

  67. B.... B....

    THIS IS FOR MY EX......😊😊

  68. E.... V....

    #LYRXLUVR🎛️ #YouTubeMusic #MyRetroThrowbackLife🎶📺😎

  69. T.... T....

    I hate country music with a passion. But maybe because I grew up with certain songs that played over and over again in my life I've come to appreciate and love select old songs like this that were oddly the portions of my childhood that I forgot but are still memorable enough to have stuck around so when I stumble upon them again they bring back the forgotten memories. Jo Dee Messina, a name I would not recognize about 2 hours ago, is a large part of my young childhood along with Shania Twain, but if we're being honest I think Messina has her beat, and that's saying something

    T.... T....

    Why even comment if u hate it

  70. B.... B....

    This song is about my ex ..all the way..☺

  71. S.... D....

    That's who sang these songs b4 jo dee

  78. C.... T....

  79. C.... T....

    Over and over again youre a fool hearted man...

  80. C.... J....

    I dedicate this Robert Langdon.

  81. C.... T....

    Ass holes keep your dirty dishes out of my kitchen and ill keep it clean. Dare me to clean it and watch how dirty it stays with your GNC BULLSHIT.

  82. M.... A....

    Wow Truth is finally out

  83. A.... D....

  95. L.... B....

    Yep this is to my ex husband I hope he gets his soon

  96. c.... c....

    The only version worth listening to. Not saying this because I was a kid when this version came out. Saying it because it's true. I love tons of country before my time but I have pulled up the Dottie west version on utube and it's pure garbage. Dottie was not even close to a singer

  97. J.... S....

    The best revenge is none at all. Harboring scorned bitterness is like eating rat poison and waiting for the rat to die. Just go on an ask God for grace to get thru the hurt. He will heal your broken heart and you'll find a new relationship.
