Marshall Crenshaw - Lesson Number One lyrics

(m. crenshaw) It's been no fun learning lesson number one Nobody can share my troubles, this i know And let me tell you i learned a lesson, here i go Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one I look around the room and know the hotel in one glance And it seems that i've arrived at a battleground just by chance Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done And i'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one I remember being told to be careful That telling even one lie Would surely lead to more problems Of alarming dimensions I wish i had paid attention Clothes thrown everywhere mirrors broken and damage done And i'm all alone thinkin' back on lesson number one To lie to your lover is a sorry losing game To lie is a violation and a shame Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth that's lesson number one Don't you know (oh no) it's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know (oh no) to tell the truth is lesson number one Robert crenshaw: drums Tony garnier: stand-up ba**
