Whoa yea ah whoa
Seems like everybody's tried to tell me
what to do and what to be
go there, wear that, do this, do that
They always tell me it's for my own good
i wanna scream
oh i wish they would
Let me learn the hard way
(call me foolish, call me lazy, call me young, call me crazy)
let me do it my way, its alright my way
let me learn the hard way
take my heart out, pick back up and i'll decide when i'm in love
cuz the hard way is alright
it's alright with me
Whoa yeah oh whoa
So what if i get my fingers burned
life's a lesson i've got to learn
i won't forget
no time, no regret
Oh, i know its all been done before
i'll make my goals and i'm keeping score
Let me learn the hard way
(call me foolish, call me lazy, call me young, call me crazy)
let me do it my way, its alright my way
let me learn the hard way
take my heart out, pick back up and i'll decide when i'm in love
cuz the hard way is alright
it's alright with me
It's alright with me
they say it's just a phase i'm going through
but it's something that i've got to do
got to do
Let me learn the hard way
(call me foolish, call me lazy, call me young, call me crazy)
let me do it my way, its alright my way
let me learn the hard way
take my heart out, pick back up and i'll decide when i'm in love
cuz the hard way is alright
it's alright with me....
