THE LESSON Vikki Carr This is the lesson taught to me A long time ago at my mother's knee She said, someday someone who loves you Will make you cry Though he loves you he'll hurt you Till you feel you could die But if he says forgive me Forgive if you can For you are his woman And he is your man When you're looking for roses There are thorns you will meet And remember my child Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet Well it's finally happened Now it's my turn to cry Oh my darling you've hurt me Till I feel I could die But you're saying forgive me And I understand For I am your woman And you are my man Don't tell me about heartache I've cried my share of tears I've had my share of rain But after the storm No rain will appear I just know when you hold me My whole world is complete And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
