Darlin', don't walk out on me
Tryin' to teach me a lesson
Thinkin' you'll come back to a better man
If you don't like the way things go
Just stay here and tell me so
'Cause there's one thing about me
You've got to understand

I've had enough lonesome in my education
I don't wanna study anymore
About a woman and a slammin' door
If I want to be blue, I've got enough information
I know about lonesome, teach me about love

Now the words from your sweet lips
And the looks from your sweet eyes
Are lessons that I study day by day
Each day, I pick up something new
Each night I learn a thing or two
But how can I learn anything
When teacher's gone away?

I've had enough lonesome in my education
I don't wanna study anymore
How to make it through a barroom door
I've been down and out, I'm ready for inspiration
I know about lonesome, teach me about love
