Mr. Big
"I've Learned My Lessons"

Met a man at the stationHe stopped me from throwing myself on the tracksHe said son, "It ain't always a womanthat makes a man stab himself in the back"Your wounds will heal,You gotta give it timeAnd all the hurt that you feelIs just like mine
I've learned my lessonBeen down that road beforeI've learned my lessonAnd the message is you'll never fly'Til you learn how to fall
It seemed to me there was a ring of truthIn what the old man saidjump back take a look at your lifeYou learn a lot about living when you're on the edgeYour wounds will heal,you gotta give it timeAnd though your troubles may be realit's just a state of mind

I've learned my lessonBeen down that road beforeI've learned my lessonAnd the message is you'll never fly'Til you learn how to fall
Your wounds will heal,you gotta give it timeAnd though your troubles may be realIt's just a state of mind
I've learned my lessonBeen down that road beforeI've learned my lessonAnd the message is you'll never fly'Til you learn how to fallI've learned my lessonAnd the message is you'll never fly'Til you learn how to fallI've learned my lesson before
