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 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
(break)

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 .. (repeat and fade out)
