You say there's diamonds in my eyes, gold in my hair
Then you dance me 'round the dancefloor like some cowboy Fred Astair
You never miss a step you've polished all your lies
Cause you've danced a million miles and lied a thousand times
(Chorus)
You're a lesson I've already learned
And the fire in your eyes I know how it burns
So in your little game I'm not taking a turn
You're a lesson I've already learned
(Inst)
Your smile comes so easy and your jokes come easy too
Now you're holding my hand like I belong to you
You stare into my eyes and you whisper in my ear
Lord you'll probably say you love me before I get out of here
(Chorus)
You're a lesson I've already learned
And the fire in your eyes I know how it burns
So in your little game I'm not taking a turn
You're a lesson I've already learned
