Nobody Told Me

nobody told me one day i'd be used
nobody taught me i'd be abused
nobody told me, but i'm telling you
be prepared to lose

no one said "get ready for some hurt"
i learned because i kept getting burnt
took and gave a whole lot of sorrow
to dread the past and have fear in tomorrow

fighting to bring on better days
fighting to hold back wicked ways
no one told me the struggles i'd find
to get my piece of mind
