I've Learned Lyrics

Andy Griggs I've Learned

I've learned that sex can sell anything on TV
And I've learned that what you get
Ain't always what you see

And I've learned that politics
And acting are the same profession
And the soul gets mighty sick
When it goes without confession

I know a lot about livin'
But I got so much to learn about love

I've learned that the winners
Don't always have the most talents
And often the most gifted lives fall out of balance

And I've learned that you can never
Lose if you don't give up, don't give up
I know a lot about livin'
But I've got so much to learn about love
Ooh, yes I do

'Cause when it comes to love, I get so confused
Things I say and shouldn't say
And do and shouldn't do
I build back walls that I've torn down
I hide my heart so it can't be found
I get lost as lost can be, still you keep lovin' me

I've learned that I'm a taker and I need to be a giver
And I promise you a whole lot more than I deliver
An' I've learned that forgiveness is a simple gift of grace
And I know I don't deserve it, but I see it in your face
I know a lot about livin'
But I've got so much to learn about love
Oh, yes I do

'Cause when it comes to love, I get so confused
Things I say and shouldn't say
And do and shouldn't do
I build back walls that I've torn down
I hide my heart so it can't be found
I get lost as lost can be
Ah, but still you keep lovin' me

I've learned that every day, miracles still happen
The sweetest music is the sound of children laughin'
And you should kiss your folks
Every time you leave 'em
'Cause you never know
It just might the last time you see 'em

I know a lot about livin'
But I've got so much to learn about love
Ooh, yes I do
I know a lot about livin'
But I've got so much to learn about love
Yes I do, yes I do

I have to learn, oh, I have to learn
Oh, I know a lot about livin'
But I've got so much to learn about love
Yes I do, yeah, yeah, yeah
