E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pattern 1 From then on I was hers to control And knowing that She robbed me of my heart And robbed me of my soul Pattern 2 Oh I was warned about her love But like a fool I went on Whether they're right Or they're wrong At least the mystery is gone Pattern 2 She had her left hand filled with diamonds And the other filled with lies She saw right through me There was no place to hide Pattern 3 Now I've finally learned my lesson But you'll never tell The pain her love left me I hide so well Pattern 2 I go on day by day in fear And knowing that I'll never never love again Only brings tears Oh I was warned about her love And I'll have to stay strong Whether they're right or they're wrong At least the mystery is gone 3X Oh I was warned about her love SOLO (Haven't Tabbed Yet) Fade Out Lyrics: Ohhhhhhhh I was warned about her love But like fool I went on Whether they're right or wrong At least the mystery is gone The more people talk about her The more I had to see Had to find out for myself What could she do for me Her lips were so inviting Her hands soft to touch After just one kiss I knew that I was out of luck From then on I was her to control And knowing that She robbed me of my heart And robbed me of my soul Ohhhhhhh I was warned about her love And I'll have to stay strong Whether they're right or wrong At least the mystery is gone (Awesome guitar solo) From then on I was her to control And knowing that She robbed me of my heart And robbed me of my soul Ohhhhhhh I was warned about her love But like a fool I went on Whether they're right or wrong At least the mystery is gone She had her left had filled with diamonds And the other filled with lies She saw right through me There was no place to hide Now I've finally learned my lesson But you'll never tell The pain her love left me I hide so well I go on day by day in fear And knowing that I'll never, ever love again Only brings tears Ohhhhh I was warned about her love And I'll have to stay strong Whether they're right or they're wrong At least the mystery is gone Whether they're right or wrong At least the mystery is gone Whether they're right or wrong At least the mystery is . . . **** I love how he blends this with the next line *** Ohhhhh I was warned about her love
