Once I had myself a good womannBut I just didn't treat her rightnI was always leavingnLivin' a party lifennTrue love was waiting for menI was much too blind to seenTill she told me she would leave menI said that's all right with mennOh now she's gonenRealize I lost the best thing there isnAnd my pride keeps telling menLet your loss be your lessonnnHeaven knows I miss her lovin'nHeaven knows how much I crynJust to think she had left menAnd I know the reason whynI could tell she had been cryin'nIt didn't seem to bother menCause I know there's no one blindernThan a fool who just couldn't seennNow she's gonenI realize I lost the best thing there isnAnd my pride keeps tellin' menLet your loss be your lesson
