Lesson Number One

(M. Crenshaw) It's been no fun learning lesson number one Nobody can share my troubles, this I know And let me tell you I learned a lesson, here I go Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one I look around the room and know the hotel in one glance And it seems that I've arrived at a battleground just by chance Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done And I'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one I remember being told to be careful That telling even one lie Would surely lead to more problems Of alarming dimensions I wish I had paid attention Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done And I'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one To lie to your lover is a sorry losing game
