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

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)
