[Verse 1]
Although I like the taste of something new
I know that I could get used to you
But maybe I'm afraid 'cause I can never say, never say
Say that we're more, more than just friends
My shoulder's cold, but it's just a defense
I say that I'll see you, but I never say when
'Cause I don't wanna make the same mistake again

[Chorus]
I don't need another lesson
I don't need another reason 'cause they only make it worse
I don't need another lesson
Tell me, if we're gonna do this, are we gonna make it work?
'Cause lessons in love hurt, yes
'Cause lessons in love hurt

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of defeat, promised myself
That I would never let another in
'Til I can really tell until they prove themself, prove themself
So we can be more, more than just friends
So I believe in that feeling again
So when you ask me I don't have to pretend
Knowing that it's you and me until the end
[Chorus]
I don't need another lesson
I don't need another reason 'cause they only make it worse
I don't need another lesson
Tell me, if we're gonna do this, are we gonna make it work?
'Cause lessons in love hurt, yeah
'Cause lessons in love hurt, they hurt

[Bridge]
Tell me if you got the recipe
Tell me if you find the rest of me
Losing myself to all the others
Messing me up, can you make it up to me?
Tell me if your love can go that far
It's better if you show me who you are
'Cause I never want another lesson, no

[Chorus]
I don't need another lesson
I don't need another reason 'cause they only make it worse
I don't need another lesson
Tell me, if we're gonna do this, are we gonna make it work?
'Cause lessons in love hurt, yes
'Cause lessons in love hurt
