[Verse 1]
The Devil came by my door today
He wrote down the letters of my name
Gave me an offer I can't refuse
What do I got to lose?

[Pre-Chorus]
Been shining my halo for too long
Tried on Heaven, but don't belong
So I'm going down to the fire's edge
And jumping off the ledge, ooh, yeah

[Chorus]
If life is a game, then I'm gonna play
And I won't be ashamed to do things my way
Because I'd rather burn than live and learn
Whatever price I'll pay, I'll be okay (Ha!)
I wanna learn the hard way

[Post-Chorus]
It's not fun to behave, it's not fun to behave
I wanna learn the hard way

[Verse 2]
Invited Him in to have some tea
And asked Him what He could do for me
Slid over and whispered in my ear
"I think you know, my dear"
[Pre-Chorus]
"So follow my lead and come dance with me
Let yourself be free"

[Chorus]
'Cause life is a game, and I'm gonna play
And I won't be ashamed to do things my way
Because I'd rather burn than live and learn
Whatever price I'll pay, I'll be okay (Ha!)
I wanna learn the hard way

[Post-Chorus]
It's not fun to behave, it's not fun to behave
I wanna learn the hard way
It's not fun to behave, it's not fun to behave
I wanna learn the hard way

[Bridge]
So I'm going down to the fire's edge
And jumping off the ledge, yeah, ooh

[Chorus]
'Cause life is a game, and I'm gonna play
And I won't be ashamed to do things my way
Because I'd rather burn than live and learn
Whatever price I'll pay, I'll be okay (Ha!)
I wanna learn the hard way
