Love and learn about the birds and bees
And the flowers of a-mystery
And if you really want to give yourself a bruise
Love and learn about the blues

Life's rocky road is pretty hard to take
But you don't know nothin' till-a your heart breaks
So if you wanna know how much a girl can lose
Love and learn about the blues

Love is a game where lies get spoken
But the game gets rough when your heart gets broken
You'll stay home a-sittin' all alone
Waitin' for the doorbell or the telephone

Then you'll know what everyone must learn
If you play around with love, you will 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
