You're gonna know what it means to be lonely
You're gonna know what it means to be blue
You're gonna know how it feels to feel your heart breaking in two
When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you

I'll see you're crying bitter tears one day baby
I'll hear you say you're so sorry we are through
I'll be the first one to have you because you'll need someone that's true
When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you

You're gonna learn the truth the hard way but what you learn you'll always know
That it's bad luck to hurt somebody when that somebody loves you so

It may be today or it may be tomorrow
You'll have to pay when your payment is due
And maybe then you'll realize just how much pain you've put me through
When the wheel of hurt comes wheeling round to you
