Song Lyrics

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 want to 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
'cause 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
'cause 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
'cause the hard way is alright
It's alright with me....
