I had myself a good woman
But I just didn't treat her right
I was always too busy
Living a party life
True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
And when she told me she was leaving
Yeah, I said that's all right with me
Oh, but now she's gone
I realize I lost a blessing
Yes, I did
And her voice keeps telling me
Yeah, yeah
Let your loss be a lesson
Before she left, you know she told me
Baby, I don't love nobody but you
She said, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, baby
Of all the changes you put me through
I could see she had been crying
But that didn't seem to bother me
But now I know there's
no one blinder, no
Than a fool who just won't see
Hey, but now she's gone I realize I lost a blessing,
yeah, yeah
And her voice keeps telling me,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Let your loss be a lesson
Heav en
knows I miss her loving
Heaven knows how much I cry
Just to think that she has left me
Oh, and I know the reason why I
can't seem to shake this feeling
You know, I'm sad as I can be I'd like
to tell her that I love her, yes I would
But it's way too late for me
Cause now she's gone,
I realize I lost the blessing, yes I did
And the birds keep telling me,
yeah, yeah, say
Let your loss be a lesson
You
