about

This is blues is dedicated to the anyone who has come through hard times sadder and wiser.

lyrics

Verse 1:
The things you swore you'd never do, you turned around and you did 'em,
The words you swore you'd never say, you open your mouth and you said 'em,
The one you swore you'd never love, you kissed and gave your heart
And now you're picking up pieces, cause your life is falling apart,
Ooh baby,

Chorus:
Life is a teacher, and sometimes the lessons are cruel
You can study and study and study, but you'll never get out of this school

Verse 2
The tears you swore you'd never cry, are rolling down your face
You shake your head and wipe your eyes, but your memories can not be escaped.
Night after night you're tossing and turning, wondering what went wrong,
And in the midst of your misery, you remember the words to this song:

Chorus:
Life is a teacher, and sometimes the lessons are cruel
You can study and study and study, but you'll never get out of this school

Verse 3:
I know your story oh so well, because I lived it
I know each stab of pain you feel, because I've felt it.
I'm standing on the other side, wondering how I got through
I learned my lesson the hard way, and that's why I'm telling you…

Chorus:
Life is a teacher, and sometimes the lessons are cruel
You can study and study and study, but you'll never get out of this school

Outro:
Life is a teacher (Life is a teacher)
Life is a teacher (Life is a teacher)
Take my word, you'll gonna learn
Everybody gets a turn, cause

Chorus:
Life is a teacher, and sometimes the lessons are cruel
You can study and study and study, but you'll never get out of this school
