(I've Been) Taught By Experts

(album: Taught By Experts - 1976)

I've been taught by experts in the art of cruelty
Now I'm giving lessons free, all it takes is three
I'll teach you to make friends with pain, that's lesson number one
No, it's not much fun, never was much fun

I've lost my taste for tears so many shoulders ago
Not sure I still know how to cry
But if you really want to learn I'd try to satisfy
Let's begin with goodbye

My body is a battlefield I've got the scars to show
One for every yes and no, every yes and no
Every yes, no yes
I've been taught by experts and here's lesson number three
Better you get hurt than me, better you than me

I've lost my taste for tears so many shoulders ago
I'm not sure I still know how to cry, how to cry
But if you really want to learn I'd try to satisfy
Let's begin with goodbye

My body is a battlefield I've got the scars to show
One for every yes and no, every yes and no
Every yes and no
I've been taught by experts and here's lesson number three
Better you get hurt than me, better you, better you than me
