I remember when I was back in school
The teachers always wanted me to learn the rules
But I was studying-girls on Friday night
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
I said if I can learn this every things gonna be alright

You see first time love I was too young
Second time I was just holding on
Third times a charm but I got burned
A three-time loser will never learn

I grew up and I thought that things would change
You got more mature but I guess we stayed the same
But I still believe in the starry night
And I keep on a-waiting for the one that will turn out right

You see first time love I was too young
Second time I was just holding on
Third times a charm but I got burned
A three-time loser will never learn

Been down one time, been down two times
Been down three times burned
First time a loser, second time a user
The third time you'd think that I would learn

Been down one time, been down two times
Been down three times burned
First time a loser, second time a user
The third time you'd think that I would learn that I won't burn

You see first time love I was too young
Second time I was just holding on
Third times a charm but I got burned
A three-time loser will never learn

First time love I was too young
Second time I was just holding on
Third times a charm but I got burned
A three-time loser will never learn
