When Will I Ever Learn

(альбом: Don Williams, Vol. 3 - 1974)

You call me at five to five,
And you ask me if I'll drop by
That you need me,
Tonight you're all alone.
Like the fool I am and the fool I'll be,
I drove there anxiously
But when I got there,
You were not alone.

When will I ever learn
That you'll never care about me.
You only build me up
To bring me down again.
When will I ever learn
That you'll use me and abuse me.
Oh, tell me, when will I ever learn.

When will I learn, when will I get wise,
You never, apologise.
I swear that this time I'm through with you.
But like the fool I am and the fool I'll be
The next time you need me,
Once again I'll give in to you.

When will I ever learn,
That you'll never care about me
You only build me up
To bring me down again
When will I ever learn,
That you'll use me and abuse me
Oh tell me, when will I ever learn...
