She was there just sitting at the table
Thinking now that things
Won't be the same
And would you like to go with me
And she answered no to me
I guess I learned my lesson
Much too soon

I never thought
She'd leave me here forever
But who knows just what
The future brings
And would you like to go with me
And she answered no to me
I guess I learned my lesson
Much too soon

Take away this never ending sorrow
Take this lonely feeling from my soul
If only I knew
What things bring tomorrow
She'd be sitting here beside me
And my heart would fill with gold

I hope to make a change now
For the better
Never letting fate control my soul
And hoping that my prayers will see
The day that you'll come back to me
But I guess I learned my lesson
Much too soon

Yes, I guess I learned my lesson
Much too soon
