Lesson In Love
Barry Gibb Lyrics

On the dark side of the street
The singer is in a place of darkness and trouble.

Just about midnight on the way to the bright side when she calls
The singer is on his way to a better place, but is interrupted by a call from a woman.

She turned out the light
The woman has left, ending the connection between them.

I'm just a beginner when it comes from a number on the wall
The singer is inexperienced in relationships and picked up the woman's number from a wall.

All God's children need someone to love
Everyone deserves love and companionship.

And you know, you know I found mine
The singer has found his person who brings him love and fulfillment.

I've been waiting for the one
The singer has been searching for his true love.

After her you will see me gone
The singer plans to leave this world after his love is gone.

I got a question answered anyway
The singer has found an answer to a question he had about love through this experience.

She turned out to be a lesson in love
The experience with this woman taught the singer valuable lessons about love.

Bad girls cross the line
Women who act recklessly and without care can cause trouble.

Get it for nothing anytime
These 'bad girls' are easily accessible and offer themselves without much effort.

I am a victim of the blues
The singer feels down and troubled due to his experiences with these 'bad girls.'

She don't know the truth
The woman the singer is referring to does not know the true nature of love.

Nobody told her how to cry
The woman has not been taught how to truly feel emotions and express them.

She got a back against the wall
The woman is in a difficult situation with limited options and resources.

She can show me I'm the one
The singer feels validated and loved by this woman.

After me she'll be on the run
After their time together, the woman may leave and look for someone else.

And lightning strikes in my bedroom
The passion and intensity of their love is strong and impactful.

The satisfaction was to me a lesson in love
The satisfaction and joy the singer felt from this experience taught him important lessons about love.

If you give your love for the first time
The singer is encouraging people to give love a chance, even if it is their first time.

you could learn from me
The singer believes he has valuable knowledge and experience to share with those who are new to love.

There are ways and means for your pleasure
There are various ways and means to find enjoyment and pleasure in a relationship.

Now just you wait and see
The singer anticipates others finding their own happiness and fulfillment in love.
