Gather round
I'm gonna tell a story
That I hope will teach
A lesson to you all
I'll lay it out
So there won't be a doubt
How I brought my kingdom
To it's fall
[CHORUS]
'Cause I've cheated
On a good woman's love
I didn't know that it
Would turn out this way
Lesson one is when
You start stepping out
You gotta start learning
How to pay
I paid the price
By lying to the ones
That deep inside
I knew I needed most
I lied and then
I went and lied again
Now in my dreams
I'm haunted by these ghosts
'Cause I've cheated
On a good woman's love
I didn't know that it
Would turn out this way
Lesson one is when
You start stepping out
You gotta start learning
How to pay
When she found out
I was just about to tell her
All about the evils of my ways
But it's too late
cause when i say i love her
she don't believe a single word i say
'Cause I've cheated
On a good woman's love
I didn't know it
Would turn out this way
Lesson one is when
You start stepping out
You gotta start learning
How to pay
listen to me now
I've cheated
On a good woman's love
I didn't know it
Would turn out this way
Lesson one is when
You start stepping out
You gotta start learning
How to pay
I'm gonna tell a story
That I hope will teach
A lesson to you all
I'll lay it out
So there won't be a doubt
How I brought my kingdom
To it's fall
