When Will You Learn?
By Susan Greenbaum

Each time you come back with your heart in your hand
I try to help you the best that I can
This ain't the first time you got your fingers burned
So why don't you listen, when will you learn?

See, you got this weakness for life at a loss
While I lie here sleepless, I turn and I toss
What happens to me is never your concern
Why don't you listen, when will you learn?

Maybe I'm a fool for waiting here for you
Cuz nothing ever changes no matter what I do
I keep picking up the pieces, I keep patching the wounds
But someday I won't be here, and that someday is soon

It sure breaks my heart to see you in such pain
But I shake my head when I see it again and again
I got a feeling this worm ain't gonna turn
Cuz you just won't listen and you can't seem to learn

Baby, I've been a fool just waiting here for you
Cuz nothing ever changes, no matter what I do
I'm done picking up your laundry, I'm done listening to your tune
Cuz tomorrow I'm gonna be history baby, and tomorrow is damn soon

It sure tears me up to see you in such pain
But I know it flares up again and again and again and again
Baby, I'm judging, and it's time to adjourn
Cuz you just won't listen and you can't seem to learn
I'm asking you
Why don't you listen, when will you learn?
