River Of No Return by Jeff Healey Lyrics
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
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
