Slow Learner

You'd think by now I'd know
What a mess you'd make of me.
You'd think by now that I would see.
But I'm a slow learner.

And we always seem to start
At the beginning of the end
Some things are hard for me to understand.
'Cause I'm a slow learner.

Everybody knows, everybody sees.
I guess everybody's just smarter than me.
Some things you just can't teach
A slow learner.

You'd think by now I'd try
To learn from my mistakes.
But my heart bends, it never seems to break.
I'm a slow learner.

Everybody knows, everybody sees.
I guess everybody's just smarter than me.
Some things you just can't teach
A slow learner.
