Don't You Ever Learn

from Empty Rooms (October 29th 1998) (2:35)

I finally learned my lesson
I been wastin all my time and energy in pursuit of a thing called love
I been trapped in that realm of questions I can never understand
And breakin from it now, I've had enough
But now that I don't want it anymore, love will come looking for me

I look toward all my friends and see their problems multiply
Because they got so much than they were bargained for
And next thing that I know they’re wearing tuxes
Steppin down the aisle, shovin their independence out the door
Just cuz they didn't want it anymore, love went looking for them

I'll never make the mistakes I made before
I'm temptin fate, better knock the door
It's made of wood, you know what I'm sayin
My telephone is ringin so I pick it up, I say hello
It's Lauren so I guess here we go again
You see, I didn't want it anymore so love came looking for me
And I guess it found me

But now that I don't want it anymore, love will come looking for me

I look toward all my friends and see their problems multiply
Because they got so much more than they bargained for
And next thing that I know they’re wearing tuxes
Stepping down the aisle and shoving their independence out the door
Just cuz they didn't want it anymore, love went looking for them
