Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson

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
