[Verse 1:T-Kells]
At the Time, She Was 23
From Up North, Newark New Jersey
I Thought She Was Worthy Like James
But Then She Dashed On Me Just Like Dam
And I Thought It Was Meant To Be
But When Stevie Wonder About Love It Kinda Gets Hard To See
I Used To, Wear My Heart Up On My Sleeves
Now, I Rolled Them Up, So I Don't Get Deceived
So I've, Grown Cold, Like Ben and Jerry
I'm Done Chasing, No More Tom and Jerry
808's and Heartbreak, Keep Your Love Lockdown
Down, Down, Down, Down
Should've Listened To Bel Biv and Devoe, Never Trust a big but and a Smile
But At That Time I Thought It was Worth While
In essence, gotta look at it as a blessing
I Take it as a love lesson
Hook:
I Think I Understand it
You Can't Just Give Ya Love Away
No, You Can't Just Give Ya Love Away
So, What I Learned At The Day…
Is Take It As A Love Lesson
Just Take It As A Love Lesson
Just Take It as A Love Lesson ….Yeah
[Verse 2:T-Kells]
I Had another girl, who I talked to all the time
At hours at a time, That's kinda hard to find
But I didn't catch that she was talking about other guys on the phone
I fooled around and got up in the friend zone
But I still tried to make her my girlfriend
And I never got my chance cause she was taken by then
I thought I could get her back
But then she told me, I Just don't see like that
To Be honest, I didn't even listen
To Make her my girlfriend was my main mission
It was something about her that made her different
She was a painter the way she drew my attention
But we're still friends, It never did work
And Until this day, It still kinda hurts
In essence, I Look at it as a blessing
I take it as a love lesson
Hook:
I Think I Understand it
You Can't Just Give Ya Love Away
No, You Can't Just Give Ya Love Away
So, What I Learned At The Day…
Is Take It As A Love Lesson
Just Take It As A Love Lesson
Just Take It as A Love Lesson ….Yeah
[Verse 3:Jay Treble]
They Say Life Is The Greatest Teacher
Love is the greatest treasure
With every heartbreak, you learn another love lesson
Man, wouldn't believe the messes I found myself in
My first love, My heart had me beat from the start
Chose her cause she was different Intellect kept my interest
Skip to college and now she can't seem to find my deposits
Found that joystick that's when she started playing games
Left her with player 2 Link and Luigi Chase the Princess
Who touched my life's song relationships on repeat
Nicole I caught her slippin' textin' another n***a
The nerve of this chick to try to play the role of victim
Michelle, That's on me can't own a car without a title
But you ain't have to test drive with another dealer
Denise ain't have Verizon there was miscommunication
Told her she could sign on and then she went and got T-Mobile
Milly a roller coaster I ain't meet the height requirement
Dang, Dang
I Think I Finally Get It
You Can Have The Perfect Picture
But It Ain't The Same Image
See You Can Have The Frame
And He Can Have The Content
She Gone Go With The Content
Trying To Make A Picture
Dang, Dang
I Think I Finally Get It
This Love Thing Is Serious
It's really quite tricky
But every time you fall
With every heartbreak
You got yourself another Love Lesson…Treble
