How I (Learned My Lesson)

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

Mine is a big pink house with people knocking on the door

With a self-righteous preacher going in

He's just an old flame, I'll never want him again

And again and again

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

I didn't, I kept on trying

I didn't listen, I looked up to you

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

I call you on the phone but you tell me you're not home

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

So I never want to see you again

I'm wrecking my kitchen carefully

But I'm keeping your dinner warm

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

I didn't, I kept on trying

I didn't listen, I looked up to you

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

At the soul market on Sunday

Here's what I put in your collection basket

In front of the congregation, I stood up and called your name

When I walked out, you just shook my hand

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson

How I (How I) how I (How I) learned my lesson
