Jenny's sitting in the car   In the middle of some abandoned Shoney's parking lot   Ripping off the filters off her cigarettes   Crying, he loves me, loves me not      She checks her makeup in the rearview mirror   And turns the radio on   It hasn't hit her yet but all she's looking at   Is another lonely night coming on      Everybody learns the hard way, the hard way about love   It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere   But make no mistake   Everybody learns the hard way about love      Meanwhile across town Tommy's in a dark bar   Watching some blonde girl shaking all she's got   Out on the tiles, out on the edge   He's gonna give it his best shot      All that hard earned money ever got him was all alone   It's two in the morning   And the only thing that's falling is the rain   And it's a long walk home      Everybody learns the hard way, yeah the hard way about love   It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere   But make no mistake   Everybody learns the hard way about love   Everybody learns the hard way about love      And in the cold heart light of day, Romeo doesn't always get his Juliet   You take your hands off the wheel your eyes off the prize   You'll get a lesson that you won't forget   Down on your knees and regret      Everybody learns the hard way about love   Everybody learns the hard way about love, yeah   And it's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere   But make no mistake   Everybody learns the hard way about love, yeah, yeah      About love everybody learns the hard way baby, about love   That's right, about love   Everybody learns
