independent learnin

where ya been, baby, not callin?
Where I been, not missin ya like i used to?
Got this thing, forgot to tell ya
how well I've learned to
hurt around ya.
Remember, darlin, when times were good?
You loved me more than you'da said you did.
You say things change,
all right, but I
still sense somethin's amiss.
Learned to love ya, baby,
coz you taught so good back then
but these days I aint excellin
with this independent learnin
So tell me somethin I don't know-
we'll see if I believe it.
Thought i could do right by love,
but I ain't never seen it.
