[Verse 1]
Love and learn about the birds and bees, and
the flowers of the mystery.
And if you really want to give yourself the proof,
love and learn about the blues.
[Verse 2]
That rocky road is pretty hard to take, but you don’t
know nothing til your heart breaks.
If you want to know how much you’ve got to lose, love
and learn about the blues.
Love is a game til lies get spoken, but the game
gets rough when your heart gets broken.
You stay at home a-sittin’ all alone, waitin’ for the
doorbell or the telephone.
[Verse 3]
Then you’ll know about what everyone must learn.
If you play around with love you’ll sure get burned.
So, when you go to pick a guy be careful who you choose,
or you’ll love and learn about the blues.
[Interlude]
Love is a game til lies get spoken, but the game
gets rough when your heart gets broken.
You stay at home a-sittin’ all alone, waitin’ for the
doorbell or the telephone.
[Verse 4]
Then you’ll know about what everyone must learn.
If you play around with love you’ll sure get burned.
So, when you go to pick a guy be careful who you choose,
or you’ll love and learn about the blues.
