Some Folks Never Learn Songtext

von Lou Rawls

You kept me in the dark
Till it was time to leave
With that smile on your face
And the ace up your sleeve

Friends tried to tell me
But it didn't feel right
I could only see you in colour
Never black and white

When people make mistakes
It's always my turn
And it isn't a joke
That some folks
Some folks never learn

There's paupers and kings
And people in between
People living off people
People living on schemes

Some are pursuers
And some are pursued
Some are just users
And some get used

All going on journeys
But some don't return
And some folks
Some folks never learn

I was a loser
I depended on you
But somehow the rumours
They never got through
Respect is like treasure
That has to be earned
But not for some folks
Some folks never learn
