Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Bored like a mule
I've always learnt my lesson slow
Should have listened
Taken my friends advice
Should have listened
To my best friends and to my eyes
They said: you must be prepared to lose
If you choose to chance the dice
Well I'm feeling
About as tired as a bad pair of shoes
When you don't fit
Then you know it's time to move
But if you had my troubles you'd be cryin too
My first mistake
Was when I thought that you'd be true
My first mistake
Was when I thought that you'd be true
Now I realise that was a foolish thing to do
