| Once I had myself a good woman
|
| But I just didn’t treat her right
|
| I was always leaving
|
| Livin' a party life
|
| True love was waiting for me I was much too blind to see
|
| Till she told me she would leave me I said that’s all right with me Oh now she’s gone
|
| Realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps telling me Let your loss be your lesson
|
| Heaven knows I miss her lovin'
|
| Heaven knows how much I cry
|
| Just to think she had left me And I know the reason why
|
| I could tell she had been cryin'
|
| It didn’t seem to bother me Cause I know there’s no one blinder
|
| Than a fool who just couldn’t see
|
| Now she’s gone
|
| I realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps tellin' me Let your loss be your lesson |
