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
