She's there just sitting at the table,
Thinking now that things won't be the same,
and would you like to go with me?
And she answered no to me,
But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon.

I never thought she'd leave me here forever,
But who knows just what the future brings,
and would you like to go with me?
And she answered no to me,
But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon.

Take away this never ending sorrow,
Take this lonely feeling from my soul,
If only I knew what things bring tomorrow,
She'd be sitting here beside me and my heart would fill with gold.

I hope to make a change now for the better,
Never letting fate control my soul,
And hoping that my prayers will see,
The day that [bad word] back to me,
But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon.

Yes, I guess I learned my lesson much too soon
