Lesson in the Pain of Love Songtext
von Delbert McClinton

I never thought I′d ever be one
To get a Dear John letter
It sure can make a body feel untogether
I read it through then I read it once more
Lord, I thought I was dyin
Dropped the letter to the floor
Caught my head in my hands and I cried
You don't know how I cried

I went to see my doctor
told my doctor, doctor you got to help me
This hurtin′ in my heart's been
'Round since my darlin′ left me
He said, son, I can cure your blues
I can give you pills if you want me to
But there really ain′t nothin' I can do
For your kind of trouble


My luck ain′t been too good
The other day you know a mad dog bit me
I stopped to help a lady on the street
And her husband hit me

Don't nothin′ seem to make much sense to me
My whole world's gone crazy
I guess it′s just a lesson
Another lesson of the pains of love

My luck ain't been too good
The other day you know a mad dog bit me
I stopped to help a lady on the street
And her husband hit me

Don't nothin′ seem to make much sense to me
My whole world′s gone crazy
I guess it's just a lesson
Another lesson in the pains of love
I guess it′s just a lesson
Another lesson in the pains of love
Well, it must be a lesson
just a lesson in the pains of love
