I Learned My Lesson
Lyrics
male vocal lead: POWER vocal bridging chest and head registers fluidly so listeners can’t detect where his voice breaks giving belting range a limitless, effortless quality. Controlled distortion and grit manipulating vocal cords to add gravel, rasp, or a full rock growl to the performance leaning into precise vocal fry. Falsetto and vibrato create vulnerability with rich, distinctive vibrato adding a warm, emotive layer to softer notes anchored by a powerful belt and massive three-octave vocal range. Backup harmony on chorus

When I saw you on the street today
You tried to look the other way
I couldn’t let this chance go by
Without beggin’ for another try
What can I do
To get you back again
You just don’t know
What kinda shape I’m in
I swear I’ve learned my lesson
I learned my lesson when you left and walked away
I learned my lesson when you left without a word to say
I learned my lesson
Oh baby, baby
What happened to the love we felt
Have you found it with somebody else?
All the memories we shared
I don’t believe you never really cared
What can I do
To get you back again
You just don’t know
What kinda shape I’m in
This time I’ve learned my lesson
I learned my lesson when you left and walked away
I learned my lesson when you left without a word to say
I learned my lesson
Oh baby, baby please
Please don’t let it end this way
Don’t leave with nothin’ more to say
The love we shared was much too good
Though I never really understood
What can I do
To get you back again
You just don’t know
What kinda shape I’m in
Now I know I’ve learned my lesson
I learned my lesson when you left and walked away
I learned my lesson when you left without a word to say
I learned my lesson
Oh baby, baby
I’m beggin’
Baby, please
I learned my lesson
