Isn't it nasty? Isn't it sad?   Gonna make you wonder   Gonna make you mad   Same old heartache: your best friend   Has come to visit once again      Your mistake was in the beginning   When you thought that he would last   When you weren't looking   No you weren't listenining   And once he left you broke like glass      Let this be a lesson to ya   Take this message to your heart   Love is gonna slip right through ya   You got to watch it from the start      Thought you had yourself a true love   Thought he was in love with you   But he was just like a devil   Took your heart and broke it too      Well there's no telling who's on the level   And there's no way to know what's real   Just remember how it all happened   And be sure that you know   Who's got the deal      Let this be a lesson to ya   Take my message to your heart   Love is gonna slip right through ya   You got to watch it from the start      Let this be a lesson to ya   Take my message to your heart   Love is will slip right through ya   You got to watch it from the start      (Let this be a lesson to ya)   Ooh, let this be a lesson   (Take my message to your heart)   Take my message to your heart (Love)   Love will slip right through ya (You've got to, you've got)   You've got to, you've got to   (You've got to watch it from the start)   You've got to watch it from the start)      (Let this be a lesson to ya)   Ooh, let this be a lesson   (Take my message to your heart)   Take my message to your heart (Love is gonna slip right through ya)   Love will slip right through ya (You've got to, you've got)   You've got to, you've got to   (You've got to watch it from the start
