Lyrics

Well, you didn’t have time for consequences
So now it’s time to mend your fences
Well, love can be so cruel
When it’s your turn to play the fool

There’s no time for understanding
‘Cause it’s always feast or famine
Lovin’ may be easy
(But love is never free)

There’s no time for learning
Gotta deal with the yearning
Some people take the hurting
(Can’t stand being alone)

Wait by the phone
For someone to call and tell you you’re alive
Feeling like no one
Until you’re somebody’s someone
Only makes you cry

(Chorus)
Before you give your heart to someone else
You better learn how to love yourself (better learn how to love yourself)
Before you give your heart to someone else
You better learn how to love yourself

In a world where it’s always rainin’
And the pain don’t need explainin’
Love can make you crazy
(Make you lose your sanity)

Well, sometimes it’s best to lie low
Take your time and go slow
‘Cause there are places out there, you know
(Worse than being alone)

Trapped in a home
Where a private hell awaits you every day
More than you bargained for
But you can be sure
You can’t wish your world away

(Chorus)
