Lesson In The Pain Of Love - Delbert McClinton

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, doctor you got to help me

This hurtin' in my heart’s been

'Round 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 really 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

Another 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

Another lesson in the pains of love

I guess it’s just a lesson

Another lesson in the pains of love

Well, it must be a lesson

Just a lesson in the pains of love
