Things To Learn About Love
Byrd/Lyons 07



Word on the street is you’ve taken up with him
You didn’t waste much time
Shows how much I know ‘bout the finer points of love
I thought we were fine

I must have left you a hundred messages baby
My phone has yet to ring
Looks like you’ve moved on little girl
Ain’t nothin’ left to do but sing

I missed the signs (I missed the signs)
You turned from green to red
I couldn’t break in time (couldn’t break in time)
Now I’m crawlin’ from a train wreck

I got things to learn about love little darlin’
Things I thought I knew
Things to learn about love little darlin’
Just look at me and you

You taught me a whole lot of lessons honey
Like a nun with an iron rule
See I just assumed we was exclusive baby
But you flat out played me for a fool

Standing here like a schoolboy
With a report card in his hand
Looks like I’ve been left back again
While you graduate to another man

Love sure is a grind (sure is a grind)
Work hard and what do you get
Heartache and lies
It ain’t nothin’ but a big mess

I got things to learn about love little darlin’
Things I thought I knew
Things to learn about love little darlin’
Just look what happened with you


Gonna listen to my heart
When my heart says stop
Gonna stop before I blow my top
Gonna find me a girl
To love me true
Anyone as long as it ain’t you

I got things to learn about love little darlin’
Things I thought I knew
Things to learn about love little darlin’
Just look what happened with you
