Well, you know you`re gonna have to steal it,
if you want your cake and eat it, too
There is no one less believin`,
than the guy who`s been deceiving you
You got to pay the piper,
in the end you will be so much wiser
Got to use your best endeavor,
when you`re kissing to be clever
`Cause it`s a hard, hard lesson,
that you`re gonna learn,
on the river of no return
You been burnin` all your bridges,
like a child with forty wishes,
on the river of no return
Well, you got your finger,
on the trigger,
it would help if you was-a bigger
Now, it`s not easy, I know, it`s not easy
`Cause it`s a hard, hard lesson,
that you`re gonna learn,
on the river of no return
Yes, you have done your share of cheatin`,
now you`re gonna have to take a beatin`
You been acting like a sucker
Now, you`re gonna have to suffer, yeah
`Cause it`s a hard, hard lesson,
that you`re gonna learn,
on the river of no return
Say, say, say
It`s a hard, hard, lesson,
that you`re gonna learn,
on the river of no return
It`s a one way to go,
it`s on and on you go
on the river of no return.
Say it again!
It`s a hard, hard lesson,
that you`re gonna learn,
on the river of no return
Got swept out in the tide,
with no one on your side,
on the river of no return
