Lyrics
Let This Be a Lesson To Ya
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can call it love, you can call it a curse
Call it what you want, in a heavenly verse
You can call it black, you can call it blue
You can let this lesson be a message to you, oh
You can let this message, be a lesson to you, yeah
You call it this, you can call it that
Just what it is, lord where it's at
You can call it magic, you can call it tragic
You can let this lesson be a message to you
You can let this message be a lesson to you
Do it one day
You can be confused, honey if you choose
You can not miss with that stuff that I use
You can think it's evil, you can think it's true
You can let this lesson be a message to you, oh
Oh you can let this message be a lesson to you, oh
Oh give us a choice now
