History Lesson
Naturally you would like to know
The story of my past affairs
The long and short and the good and bad
The fun and misery I had
Naturally you’re a bit concerned
For your own sake as we start this dance
You might expect all the patterns to
Recur, and well, they sometimes do
I’ll do my best to give nothing away
While giving you all the details
You’re nodding and smiling but I’m keeping you guessing
Well that is my job, this is your history lesson
Okay, let’s go back in time
To my first love, and I’ll make it quick
The fighting almost made me sick
I thought we fit but we didn’t click
The following ones, they were much the same
We couldn’t seem to get along
I felt the feelings that lovers do
And now I’m feeling them for you
I want you to know everything about me
And nothing that I don’t know
I’m talking and talking but I’m leaving you guessing
Well leave it to me, this is your history lesson
History’s written by the winners, you know
Is it the leaf or the worm that is turning?
I told you the facts, oh yes I told you the truth
The lesson remains for the learning
Is it really unreasonable
To expect your love to make you glad
To pick you up when you’re on the ground
But over and over I was let down
Is it really a lot to ask
To be let off this tender hook?
Condemned to repeat the same mistake
And repetition makes the heart ache
But never mind, I’m over that now
You can ask me anything
You can ask me anything
I gave you the answer, why are you still guessing
And that is the end of your history lesson
