On the dark side of the street.
Just about midnight on the way
to the bright side when she calls.

She turned out the light.
I'm just a beginner when it comes
from a number on the wall.

All God's children
need someone to love.
And you know, you know I found mine.

I've been waiting for the one.
After her you will see me gone.
I got a question answered anyway.

She turned out to be a lesson in love.
A lesson in love.
Bad girls cross the line.

Get it for nothing anytime.
I am a victim of the blues.
She don't know the truth.

Nobody told her how to cry.
She got a back against the wall.
All God's children need someone to love.

And you know, baby, you know I found mine.
She can show me I'm the one.
After me she'll be on the run.

And lightning strikes in my bedroom.
The satisfaction was to me a lesson in love.
If you give your love for the first time,

-a lesson in love-
you could learn from me.
It's gonna be

-a lesson.
All God's children need someone to love.
And you know, baby, you know I found mine.

She can show me I'm the one.
After me she'll be on the run.
And lightning strikes in my bedroom.

The satisfaction was to me a lesson in love.
If you give your love for the first time,
-a lesson in love-

you could learn from me.
It's gonna be
-a lesson in love.

There are ways and means for your pleasure.
-a lesson in love.
Now just you wait and see.

It's gonna be
-a lesson in love.
If you give your love for the first time,

-a lesson in love-
you could learn from me
-a lesson in love.

There are ways and means for your pleasure..
