Gotta say, this song...while more "upbeat" and faster...is great. But, while I still like jo dee singing it, gotta give it to dottie west. She did it best :)

[Hawaiiansky11]

@justpeachinalong - what's wrong with being a bitch?

so-called "quality" men like bitches (per Sherry Argov)! Look how many dump good women for abusive, lowlife whores...

[lakeangel80]

[4665aj]

I like JoDee Messinas Version she has a very good voice for this song I mean Dottie West did it good also but Jo Dee Messina does alot better

[thegoldfish100]

i wuves zis zong!!

[ImForeverHers]

HAHAHAHA....This song (the FIRST time I had ever heard it) was playin on the radio when my bff called me, and was like "Joe (my ex) is here. He's asking me if you wanna hang." Then the part about "I hear you've been asking about me" played, and I started rolling. Perfect timing. I was like "I got it God." I couldnt stop laughing. My friend hung up on me.

[BoundaryShift]

Does anyone else think she resembles Mariska Hargitay?

[Mariska07]

@BoundaryShift slightly but mariska's eye's are way differant

[rbighead72]

This song is just how I feel.....Its been over a year and i still cry everyday about him.....he left me for someone who is twice my age just because she has money so now it6s just me and his daughter against the world......

[The1Iceprincess]

@rbighead72 Money is not everything and he will learn that. going through a divorce right now that has been taking two years. I have three kids, and it has to do a lot about money. and another women. Don't worry about it, KARMA baby it comes back around! Karma always happens!

[stingerbb]

i love her music sooo much:)

[thenewstandard101]

Im ganna dedicate this song and a few others to my ex!! Thought that bitch had changed,.. apparently not! He better guess again if he thinks ima be here when he gets done with the fat ugly bitch he is with now. DK why he stepped down

[Chelseamckayxo]

love this songq ♥♥

[tlc090192]

why is it that most good country songs make it sound like the only girls who get dumped get hurt by guys I left him to save my self so he makes me the bad guy when all he does is lie and hurt people

[BecomingJane1010]

I love this song!!!!!

[MyJustified]

Dottie West done this best.

[mylovewillneverend]

GREAT SONG FIVE STARS .

[natashajcts]

I could have sworn this song was called "fool hearted man".. I clearly must have bee mistaken

[IloveL4e]

i still think it's called fool hearted man lolz XD

[funkymikayla]

lesson in leaving true song stupid guys stupid relasionships man love stinks

[hockeyham3]

@funkymikayla LOL...the male species is just ....dumb. Not clue one on much of anything. Good luck!

[sydgurl124]

@funkymikayla no kidding...it's the hardest thing in life...but if we aren't here to find love...what are we here for???

[jessie1p]

@sydgurl124 to learn

[diamondheart09]

@funkymikayla love itself doesnt "stink." and guys arent stupid; only some. they are who they were raised by, in a waay.

[cadevereaux]

Payback not that we would ever seek vengeance right guys? lol ha ha

[QueenEclipse314]

Great song

[heronries]

Lesson in leaving #1 - make it clean, quick, courteous and final. Better healing for both parties.

[navybrat5678]

@heronries guess it depends on if you CARE about how the other party heals. Sometimes you need to get a little hurt to learn.

[natashajcts]

Agreed but sometimes it just feel's like you need to see them get their karma.. ;)

[mylovewillneverend]

GREAT SONG FIVE STARS .

[kimey2012]

omg yes i found the song lol

[101Redangel]

All day i was tihnking of this song, cuz my ex dumped me for another girl and it just so happens that other girl is my friend.. well she had me dumped him for her today :[)!! and it made me think of this song lol

[hotlittlemama74]

This song helped me get over my ex and move on i am so happy now

[TheRedheadsMusic]

Dottie West recorded this earlier before Jo Dee. They both are awesome!!!

[debfan74]

Reba would never sing with Jo Dee....not dissing either, because both are idols of mine........Reba and Jo Dee are too different in the world of country.....I could see Jo Dee doing something more in the lines of paring up with a rock group like Heart, much like Wynonna and Gretchen Wilson did

[crackergurl22]

I don't recall Reba ever singing this song. If she did it must of just stayed flat on the chart's never heard it. Dottie West was the original singer. I like Jo Dees version the best and she is awesome in concert

[Huntinbear]

To my knowledge...Reba never recorded it.

[brandicakes96]

Reba has never remade this song.

[Roushfan5]

Why is everyone comparing her to Reba.

They are both awesome, and redheads. Don't forget redheads ;)

[littlemisstypesalot]

Why is everyone comparing them? There are tons of country singers that you could be comparing... is it because Reba and Jo Dee Messina are both redheads?

[CherokeeSky34]

About the Jo Dee/ Reba argument... what would be killer is if they did a DUET of this song ! BOTH fiesty red heads, can u see the video with each of them feeding off the other while singing ? would rock!

[soccerchick5999]

i dedicate this song to my ex bf

[ycsdramaqueen]

one of my favorite songs of all time ^^

[arttesty]

Can relate so many times.

[Bgrl01]

i love em both! theyre awesome.

[thatsexybitchbrittni]

reba doesnt have shit on jo Dee messina...she could never sing this song better.rebas a good singer but she could never sing this song better!

[atomicplayboy4u]

Jo dee `s voice is beautiful :)

[hislizzybear]

bullshit! reba could so take this song and make it sound hella better reba sings better thenher! jo dee messina dosent have shit on reba! rebas 20milliontimes better then jo. srry to break it to ya..

[jake1314]

too bad jo dee is teh best live singer ever, and in reality, she's a real person...not some fantasy person that hollywood made up ;-D good luck with believing whatever your believing...too bad its WRONG

[hislizzybear]

okay im gonna be more my age..and not argue back with u...but it is my oppinion i have the freedom to speak however i want towards stuff.

[jake1314]

im 13, so i have no idea about "acting your age" because I am...but still you shouldnt be sooooooooo rude about other singers...everybody has their own opinion, and you telling everyone else they are wrong doesnt solve much at all...if you dont like her, why are you listening to her? remember...if your an adult, you should be setting examples. world peace, not world war....think about it

[Huntinbear]

Jo Dee's career is not going to well these days tho' ... is it?

[brandicakes96]

She's just had a new singal come out not that long ago

[atomicplayboy4u]

The best ! What voice :)

[spaderules]

sorry she was with an idiot for being with that man, but this is a stupid song! Reba could have done better! Check out every other weekend!

[Rebagirl45]

I agree about Reba doing it better, but I think this is a real good song.

[SequelReviews]

i like them both lol

[wwefancutie]

me too. I wish there was a video for this song. I love this song.

[beccamesser]

yea, for real, that'd be hilarious! :D

[missylew12]

Shes crazy good yep haha!!

[arbr1231]

sigh...i just gave my x a lesson in leaving. im cryin cuz i happy

[arbr1231]

lol amanda u told me bout that haha

[arbr1231]

i love this song and it realllllly reminds me of somebody i kno anyway jo dee messina has a rlly good voice :D

[KISSAKAT]

i think this version is better than carries.

but i prefer the original by Dottie West

[samamyw]

my grandma made me listen to a few of her songs and that night i listened to the cd until i fell asleep, :) LOVE IT!!!

I wish she would come back though!

[Rebagirl45]

awesome song but I wish that there was a music video

[webkinz626]

SHE IS WAY SUPER POSITIVLY BETTER THAN CARRIE UNDERWOOD.sorry for carrie underwood fans

[atomicplayboy4u]

Indeed :)  Jo`s voice and range is beautiful :)

[Rebagirl45]

Beautiful song matched by a beautiful voice and that's matched by beautiful woman. (I wish i looked like that)

[atomicplayboy4u]

She has such an incredible voice :)

[hollisterwhore]

This song is actually called "Fool Hearted Man"

[andyroxs345]

actually its not ,on the album its called lesson in leaving

[hollisterwhore]

oops sorry, lesson in leaving does sound like a better title

[lucasmollet]

@andyroxs345 Dottie West's version was called Fool Hearted Man

[lucasmollet]

@lucasmollet I correct myself, it was called Lesson In Leaving too

[TheLucasMollet]

@andyroxs345 And on Dottie West's Album it was called "A Lesson In Leaving"

[Rebagirl45]

no its not, its lesson in leavin, I know because it was a remake of lesson in leavin from dottie west.

[soccerchick5999]

thats what i thought too.

[SuperLovebug8]

@hollisterwhore yeah its called lesson in leavin i have it on my itunes

[dolphingal28574]

gotta love this song!

[atomicplayboy4u]

This Masshole sure can sing :)

[hawkman2000]

This song could also be the other way around ladies, so don't think its just a man thing. This is why i have been celebent because the one and only ex I had fits this song 100%.

[countryangel1975]

men pull this stupid ass shit & then wonder why we turn bi or lesbian?!

[Rebagirl45]

[nenew1313]

[x0abbiex0]

[verybubbley101]

ur rite that same guy that broke up with me once and told me he would never breakup with me again texted me and said u need 2 breakup with me because i dont love u anymore =( the sad part is i cryed my heart out and he dident care.

[dolphingal28574]

Oh im so sorry, my boyfriend was confused one day and he almost broke up with me but i said something to make him realize he really does love me. Hope things get better for you!

[verybubbley101]

haha good job! he sounds like a real jerk. my boyfriend said he would never ever break up w/ me 4 a certian girl but he did and haha she wont go out with him and he also told me he would love me 4ever.....wow then he broke up with me and asked me back out i said yes....olny bcus the whole thing was a rummer....wow HAha yea wel he brokeup with me AGAIN and now goes out with her! ughhhh makes me sooo mad!

[skywalkerssp]

I like this song.. Reminded me of someone that I really love but when he returned to stateside.. he's been avoiding me after giving me all the false hopes when he was in Iraq... Hope one day someone will teach him a lesson..

[Countrygirl98769]

I hope someone doies this to my ex, he cheated on me and lied about it, then after he has 6 other gf's after me, he says hes not over me, when ii get the one i love, He needs someone to give him a lesson and i wanna be there to watch him fall like he was for me, he kiked me when i was down, now its my turn
