Isn't it nasty? Isn't it sad?

Gonna make you wonder

Gonna make you mad

Same old heartache: your best friend

Has come to visit once again



Your mistake was in the beginning

When you thought that he would last

When you weren't looking

No you weren't listenining

And once he left you broke like glass



Let this be a lesson to ya

Take this message to your heart

Love is gonna slip right through ya

You got to watch it from the start



Thought you had yourself a true love

Thought he was in love with you

But he was just like a devil

Took your heart and broke it too



Well there's no telling who's on the level

And there's no way to know what's real

Just remember how it all happened

And be sure that you know

Who's got the deal



Let this be a lesson to ya

Take my message to your heart

Love is gonna slip right through ya

You got to watch it from the start



Let this be a lesson to ya

Take my message to your heart

Love is will slip right through ya

You got to watch it from the start



(Let this be a lesson to ya)

Ooh, let this be a lesson

(Take my message to your heart)

Take my message to your heart (Love)

Love will slip right through ya (You've got to, you've got)

You've got to, you've got to

(You've got to watch it from the start)

You've got to watch it from the start)



(Let this be a lesson to ya)

Ooh, let this be a lesson

(Take my message to your heart)

Take my message to your heart (Love is gonna slip right through ya)

Love will slip right through ya (You've got to, you've got)

You've got to, you've got to

(You've got to watch it from the start
