[Verse 1]
I said "no" to you today
But all I really wanted to say was "yes"
I got up and walked away, baby
Took a cab to my place and then got dressed

[Chorus]
I have put up all my useless defenses
But I have learned my lesson
These are the consequences of loving you

[Verse 2]
Then I twist my lipstick up
And I stay out later than consciousness
Such a beautiful tear, baby
Now you're risking for more and I'm needing less

[Chorus]
I have put up all my instinctive defenses
But I have learned my lesson
Thеse are the consеquences of loving you, of loving you

[Verse 3]
Sometimes you can sink so low
Deep down where there's nowhere to go
And it don't bother me, no, no
No, it don't bother me
So I pull up my bag
And I put down what's in my head
Then you slip off my dress
And say "My love, come to bed"

[Chorus]
I have put up all my useless defenses
But I have learned my lesson
These are the consequences of loving you, of loving you, of loving you
Of loving you, loving you, of loving you
