Refresher Courses

(C.L. Harrington ©2000 GOC Music-BMI)

Last night he told me all I wanted to hear

His eyes were a-gleamin¹ like the light in his beer

Then he pinched a waitress, thought that I didn¹t see

Ain¹t no damn forest, just this familiar old tree

I keep pickin¹ him out of the crowd

The one bad seed, for cryin¹ out loud

When will I learn, how about now?

No I don¹t wanna do it again

Go back where I¹ve already been

Play a game that I can¹t win

Wonderin¹ when it will end

'Cause the world is full of refresher courses for those of us

Who don¹t learn the lesson the first time around

I¹m growin¹ tired of learning experiences

Can¹t get a grip on what the point of it is.

I stay in confusion, wonderin¹ what it all means

I sit and flip channels, finish off the ice cream

I keep repeatin¹ the pain that I¹m in

Doctor it hurts, well don¹t do it again

Makin¹ my choices, then blamin¹ him.

No I don¹t wanna do it again

Go back where I¹ve already been

Play a game that I can¹t win

Wonderin¹ when it will end

'Cause the world is full of refresher courses for those of us

Who don¹t learn the lesson the first time around

I¹m in love with his potential

And the pain rains down, it¹s torrential

I keep fallin¹ for the guy who put the funk in dysfunctional

A whole lotta fun, and nothin¹ but trouble

No I don¹t wanna do it again

Go back where I¹ve already been

Play a game that I can¹t win

Wonderin¹ when it will end

'Cause the world is full of refresher courses for those of us

Who don¹t learn the lesson the first time around
