Lesson In The Pain Of Love

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 you got to help

me

This hurtin' in my heart's been around 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 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, just a 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, just a lesson in the pains

of love

I guess it's just a lesson, just a lesson in the pains

of love

Well, it must be a lesson, just a lesson in the pains

of love
