Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Echo, echo
Oh, yeah
I learned a long time ago
Trouble never sleeps
I learned a long time ago
What you want ain't always what you need
Lessons for you, my dear
Lessons for when I'm not here
Lessons for you, my love
Just in case they catch me slipping up
Oh, lessons
Lessons
I'm a weary soul running from the sun
It's exposed all the wrong I've done
I wish I could be the man I thought I was
But I don't ever really see myself giving up
I learned a long time ago
Practice what you preach
I learned a long time ago
What you sow is what you reap
Lessons for you, my dear
Lessons for when I'm not here
Lessons for you, my love
Just in case they catch me slipping up
Oh, lessons
Lessons
I learned a long time ago
Finish what you start
I learned a long time ago
Don't let them play games with your heart
Lessons for you, my dear
Lessons for when I'm not here
Lessons for you, my love
Just in case they catch me slipping up
Oh, lessons
Lessons
Slipping up
I learned a long time ago
Finish what you start
I learned a long time ago
Don't let them play games with your heart
Lessons for you, my dear
Lessons for when I'm not here
Lessons for you, my love
Just in case they catch me slipping up
Oh, lessons
Lessons
Lessons
