Let This Be a Lesson To You

Isn't it nasty? Isn't it sad?
Gonna make you wonder, gonna make you mad
Same ol' heartache, your best friend
Has come to visit once again

Your mistake was in the beginning
When you thought that he would last
When you weren't looking, no, you weren't listening
And once he left, you broke like glass

Let this be a lesson to you
Take this message to your heart
Love is gonna slip right through you
You got to watch it from the start

Thought you had yourself a true love
Thought he was in love with you
But he was just like a devil
Took your heart and broke it too

Well there's no telling who's on the level
And there's no way to know what's real
Just remember how it all happened
And be sure that you know who's got the deal

Let this be a lesson to you
Take my message to your heart
Love is gonna slip right through you
You got to watch it from the start

Let this be a lesson to you
Take this message to your heart
Love is gonna slip right through you
You got to watch it from the start (ooh)

Let this be a lesson to you (ooh, let this be a lesson)
Take my message to your heart (take my message to your heart)
Love is gonna slip right through you
You got to, you got to, you got to watch it from the start

Let this be a lesson to you (ooh, let this be a lesson)
Take my message to your heart (take my message to your heart)
Love is gonna slip right through you (love will slip right through you)
You got to, you got to, you got to watch it from the start

Let this be a lesson to you (ooh, let this be a lesson)
Take my message to your heart (take my message to your heart)
Love is gonna slip right through you (love will slip right through you)
You got to, you got to, you got to
