Isn't it nasty, isn't it sad
Don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you mad
Same old heartache, your best friend
Has come to visit once again
Your mistake was in the beginning
When you thought that she would last
But you weren't looking and you weren't listening
And when she left, you broke like glass
Let this be a lesson to you
Take this message to your heart
Love is gonna slip right through ya
You'd better watch it from the start
You thought you had yourself a true love
You thought she was in love with you
But you found out she was like the devil
She stole your heart, she broke it too
But there's no telling who's on the level, no
And there's no way to know what's real
Just remember how it all happened
And be sure that you know just how you feel
Let this be a lesson to you
Take this message to your heart
Love is gonna slip right through ya
You'd better watch it from the start
