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
